Aperio and Cerner have developed an interface between Spectrum, Aperio's digital pathology information management system, and the Cerner Copathplus, pathology lab information system (LIS).
The interface is designed to optimise workflow and facilitate access of digital slide images and case data between the two systems.
'Integrating Spectrum with Copathplus allows pathologists to archive, analyse and examine slides digitally while also accessing the demographic, clinical history and other relevant information available in the LIS,' said Sylvia Asa, pathologist-in-chief at the University Health Network in Toronto.
