About the Webinar

This on demand webinar is tailored for Europe and Canada.

Enterprise Imaging is the consolidation of infrastructure which allows all “image-producing” medical specialties to store and access their data from a single platform.

The IT advantages are clear-cut and straightforward – one system to manage. But advantages also accrue to clinical services. These include the facilitation of consultation and interactive conferencing between represented specialties, instant availability of related images, and streamlined electronic health recordkeeping, access, and datamining. Radiology and related imaging specialties have been using digital infrastructure for many years.

Pathology is new to the Enterprise Imaging ecosystem, primarily due to the very large size of its images and the lack of standardization in the field, but development of hardware and software is evolving rapidly.

Forward-looking institutions are now looking to merge pathology to existing IT platforms as “Enterprise Imaging.”

Why should you watch this webinar?

• This webinar will help you understand how pathology fits into Enterprise Imaging, alongside other image-producing specialties, and within the IT infrastructure that can be leveraged for maximal efficiency and cost savings.
• You will learn how digital transformation offers unique workflow advantages to pathologists. Examples include rapid and location-independent review and consultation, improved patient safety and turnaround times with no glass slide loss, and rapidly evolving artificial intelligence and analytic algorithms for diagnostic prescreening and quantitative evaluations of specimens.
• Discover how further synergies develop when pathologists, radiologists, and clinicians have instant access to the entirety of an institution’s image data, including multidisciplinary conferencing, data integration and analysis, and the identification of multiplex features of disease that could not have easily been noted with siloed data pools.

The webinar will give ample time for audience queries and comments to the speakers.
