In recent months, six Meditech hospitals have implemented mTuitive’s xPert for Pathology synoptic reporting solution to standardize cancer reporting across their laboratories. Summit Healthcare’s scripting interface connects xPert for Pathology with Meditech’s Magic and Client Server pathology modules, providing a seamless user experience and reliable data submission.
Cancer checklists, in synoptic format, will enhance the quality of pathology reporting across the laboratory by ensuring that reports contain all of the relevant clinical information required to make informed patient care decisions. ”Synoptic format” involves gathering data items in a structured, standardized format and layout with a pre-specified choice of responses. Information is stored as discrete data elements.
Ontario hospitals Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, The Scarborough Hospital, Rouge Valley Health System and Lakeridge Health are currently reporting all their cancer cases synoptically in accordance with Cancer Care Ontario’s new College of American Pathologist/Collaborative Stage-Aligned data standard.
“mTuitive has been a very valuable tool recently added to our pathology practice. It allows us to report on cancer parameters in the most up to date and standardized way to facilitate appropriate patient management,” says Dr. Joseph Wasielewski, Chief of Pathology, Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
University of California Davis Medical Center and Cape Cod Hospital (MA) are other Meditech hospitals to recently go live with xPert for Pathology.
