Information systems (IS) are well established in the multitude of departments and practices of pathology. Apart from being a collection of doctor's reports, IS can be used to organize and evaluate workflow processes. We report on such a digital workflow management using IS at the Department of Pathology, University Hospital Magdeburg, Germany, and present an evaluation of workflow data collected over a whole year. This allows us to measure workflow processes and to distinguish the effects of alterations in the workflow for quality assessment. Moreover, digital workflow management provides the basis for the integration of diagnostic virtual microscopy.
信息系统（IS）在病理学的众多科室和实践中已得到广泛应用。除了作为医生报告的集合外，信息系统还可用于组织和评估工作流程。我们报告了德国马格德堡大学医院病理科使用信息系统进行的这种数字工作流程管理，并展示了对一整年收集的工作流程数据的评估。这使我们能够衡量工作流程，并区分工作流程变更对质量评估的影响。此外，数字工作流程管理为诊断虚拟显微镜的集成提供了基础。
