The emerging discipline of pathology informatics is reviewed, and its placement as a subspecialty within the broader field of pathology and laboratory medicine is proposed. Informatics concepts should guide the development of the next generation of laboratory information systems. Advanced laboratory systems will incorporate decision support leading to improvements in quality and in interpretive reporting providing support for clinical diagnosis and decision making. Training programs in pathology should take into account the need for expertise in informatics and develop fellowships in this area to adequately prepare junior faculty members for their future professional role.
本文综述了新兴的病理学信息学学科，并提议将其作为病理学和检验医学这一更广泛领域内的一个亚专业。信息学概念应指导下一代实验室信息系统的开发。先进的实验室系统将纳入决策支持，从而提高质量，并在解释性报告方面提供支持，为临床诊断和决策提供依据。病理学培训项目应考虑到对信息学专业知识的需求，并在该领域设立奖学金，以便为初级教员未来的专业角色做好充分准备。
