Kentucky-based pathology laboratory integrates LIS platform with Proscia digital imaging system to enhance diagnostic workflows and turnaround times.


Clinisys has completed implementation of its Orchard Enterprise laboratory information system at P&C Labs, LLC, including integration with Proscia’s digital pathology platform.

The Lexington, Kentucky-based pathology laboratory went live with Orchard Enterprise Lab, Orchard Enterprise Pathology, and Orchard Outreach solutions. The deployment enables centralized lab operations, advanced anatomic pathology workflows, and enhanced client connectivity across P&C Labs’ network of more than 40 hospitals and numerous clinics throughout Kentucky and surrounding regions.

The integration with Proscia’s digital imaging system provides real-time image access and enables collaboration among pathologists, supporting P&C Labs’ digital pathology capabilities.

“The successful go-live at P&C Labs marks a significant milestone in our mission to empower laboratories with intelligent, scalable solutions,” says Billie Whitehurst, CEO of Orchard Software, in a release. “By integrating Orchard’s enterprise-grade LIS with Proscia’s digital pathology platform, we’re enabling P&C Labs to deliver faster, more accurate diagnostics across their expansive network.”

Full Process Reengineering Implementation

P&C Labs pursued a complete workflow transformation with the new system implementation. The laboratory specializes in anatomic pathology, cytopathology, hematopathology, dermatopathology, oral pathology, neuropathology, and GI pathology services.

“Rarely in business do you get the opportunity to completely reengineer your processes with transformative new tools,” says Steve Olsen, chief operating officer of P&C Labs, LLC, in a release. “At P&C Labs, we seized that kind of moment with a full implementation of Orchard’s enterprise LIS, purpose-built to integrate seamlessly with digital pathology.”

The laboratory maintains next-day turnaround times and employs board-certified pathologists while providing EMR integration capabilities for healthcare provider clients.
