We were pleased to welcome Pathology Associates (Lufkin, TX) as a new Pathagility client earlier this month, and we are also pleased to report that the migration from their previous LIS to Pathagility’s web-based LIS (WorkPath) was extremely smooth.

If you are a pathology group or laboratory, how do your referring physicians want to receive report information? Fax? Web Portal? EMR interface?The answer is something along the lines of…”the way they ask for it, when they ask for it!” Right?

We appreciate CAP Today for allowing us to participate in multiple product market categories and related articles. Here is…

Last week I attended a formal, non-Pathagility related event where we were seated randomly with individuals with varying backgrounds. Among the group at my table was an investment broker, a restaurant chain owner, a non-profit director, and clinician at a pediatric practice. The clinician (Kathy – for the sake of this post) and I were seated next to one another, and after discussing…

According to new research from Kalorama Information, the laboratory information systems (LIS) market should grow 6% annually over the next few years from its 2010 level of $800M.
