Pathology laboratories are increasingly using digital workflows. This has the potential of increasing laboratory efficiency, but the digitization process also involves major challenges. Several reports have been published describing the individual experiences of specific laboratories with the digitization process. However, a comprehensive overview of the lessons learned is still lacking. We provide an overview of the lessons learned for different aspects of the digitization process, including digital case management, digital slide reading, and computer-aided slide reading. We also cover metrics used for monitoring performance and pitfalls and corresponding values observed in practice. The overview is intended to help pathologists, information technology decision makers, and administrators to benefit from the experiences of others and to implement the digitization process in an optimal way to make their own laboratory future-proof.
病理实验室越来越多地采用数字化工作流程。这有可能提高实验室的效率，但数字化过程也涉及重大挑战。已经有几篇报告描述了特定实验室在数字化过程中的个别经验。然而，对于所学到的经验教训仍缺乏全面的概述。我们提供了数字化过程不同方面的经验教训概述，包括数字病例管理、数字切片阅读和计算机辅助切片阅读。我们还涵盖了用于监测性能的指标以及在实践中观察到的陷阱和相应值。该概述旨在帮助病理学家、信息技术决策者和管理人员从他人的经验中受益，并以最佳方式实施数字化过程，使自己的实验室具有前瞻性。
