The advantages of the digital methodology are well known. In this paper, we provide a detailed description of the process for the digital transformation of the pathology laboratory at IPATIMUP, the major modifications that operate throughout the processing pipeline, and the advantages of its implementation. The model of digital workflow implementation at IPATIMUP demonstrates that careful planning and adoption of simple measures related to time, space, and sample management can be adopted by any pathology laboratory to achieve higher quality and easy digital transformation.
数字方法的优势是众所周知的。在本文中,我们详细描述了IPATIMUP病理实验室的数字化转型过程、整个处理流程中进行的主要修改以及实施该转型的优势。IPATIMUP的数字工作流程实施模式表明,任何病理实验室都可以通过精心规划并采取与时间、空间和样本管理相关的简单措施,来实现更高的质量和轻松的数字化转型。
