Wow! 2011 was a great year for Pathagility with the addition of some great new clients and some exciting projects with our existing customer base. We’ve been heads down in delivery mode. As we turn our attention to 2012, we want to share some of the client experiences we’ve had over the past several months. There…
Pathagility will have a booth at CAP ’11 next month. Hopefully the Dallas weather in September will be a tad bit milder than August (and July for that matter) has been. Whether you are a pathologist, lab manager or a systems vendor; we hope you will drop by and visit with us. We would like…
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.

The report includes this interesting stat – labor accounts for more than 60% of the cost of producing test results. To drive down the percentage of manual labor needed to support the…
Many pathology labs we talk with have purchased, developed and deployed FileMaker Pro database lab systems. This seems even more true in smaller independent and hospital labs due to cost and ease of deployment factors. We would like to hear from those of you that utilize FileMaker Pro. Here are a few questions for you… Overall, are…
For Christmas, Santa brought me an iPad (which I thought was very cool by the way!) I’ve been living vicariously through friends and business associates who were early adopters. Now that I have one and it is fully integrated into my daily life, I’ve started picturing how a device like this might be useful in the…
Normally we stay away from posts that are this Pathagility product focused, but every once in a while we just can’t help ourselves! We are proud of our ReportPath product/service and continue to recognize lots of application for it. ReportPath provides pathology laboratories and healthcare providers an integrated, web-based solution for storing, managing and distributing report data without purchasing a new LIS. Referring physicians have secure…
