BioImagene, Inc., the leading provider of end-to-end digital pathology solutions, announced the integration of Virtuoso™, BioImagene’s digital pathology workflow software, with several market-leading anatomic pathology (AP) laboratory information systems (LIS). LIS products from Elekta Impac, Cerner Corp., eTeleNext, iCORE, LigoLabs, McKesson Corp., and Sunquest Information Systems have been interfaced with Virtuoso at BioImagene’s diverse installed base of customers.
“The success of an end-to-end solution depends on integration of a digital pathology system into the IT-ecosystem of the laboratory. We are now able to demonstrate clear and measurable improvement in efficiency metrics through integration. We are pleased with the overwhelming support we have received from top LIS vendors.”
The Virtuoso - LIS integration enables sharing of data between the two systems in the pathology laboratory, making critical information readily available to pathologists. This assists pathologists to improve efficiency in digital slide analysis, case management and reporting, resulting in a streamlined workflow.
“Integration between BioImagene’s Virtuoso and LIS from the principal vendors is important and beneficial to laboratories using digital pathology systems,” explained Steve Yu, Vice President of the Technology Solutions Group (TSG) at BioImagene. “It gives users access to case and patient information directly from Virtuoso without having to switch to the LIS. It also eliminates the need of manual re-entry of this data by the end-user.”
Dr. Ajit Singh, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BioImagene commented, “The success of an end-to-end solution depends on integration of a digital pathology system into the IT-ecosystem of the laboratory. We are now able to demonstrate clear and measurable improvement in efficiency metrics through integration. We are pleased with the overwhelming support we have received from top LIS vendors.”
Virtuoso works with BioImagene’s iScan™ family of automated digital slide scanners to provide an end-to-end digital pathology solution for labs of all sizes. It allows pathologists to view, manage, archive and analyze digital images.
