The laboratory reports a 68% increase in one-day turnaround times within weeks of deploying the software platform.
Pathology & Cytology Laboratories (P&C Labs) has achieved significant operational improvements within weeks of implementing Proscia’s Concentriq digital pathology software platform, according to the companies.
The nationally recognized pathology services provider reported a 68% increase in one-day turnaround time, rising from 34% to 57% of specimens completed within a day of receipt. Two-day turnaround time also improved, climbing from 65% to 74%. Internal consultation rates increased by 25%.
The laboratory integrated Concentriq with its existing Clinisys Orchard Enterprise pathology laboratory information system as part of its digital transformation initiative. P&C Labs adopted the platform to streamline operations and keep pace with growing demand for its services across multiple sites.
“No one in our laboratory wants to go back to glass,” says Steve Olsen, chief operating officer at P&C Labs, in a release. “The early results validate our move to digital, and this is only the beginning. With Proscia as our partner, we are rapidly expanding our use of Concentriq to unlock even greater benefits and fuel our growth.”
Pathologists Embrace Digital Workflows
The laboratory reported that pathologists readily embraced the shift away from traditional microscopy, accelerating adoption of digital pathology workflows. The platform enables remote work capabilities, allowing P&C Labs to increase capacity while maintaining speed and quality of results as it expands services across additional sites.
P&C Labs, founded in 1967, specializes in anatomic pathology, cytopathology, hematopathology, dermatopathology, oral pathology, GI pathology, clinical laboratory consultations, and laboratory medical directorships.
“The team at P&C Labs is inspiring,” says David West, CEO of Proscia, in a release. “It sees the full promise of digital pathology and is already setting a model for other laboratories to follow. By quickly realizing operational benefits and keeping business growth at the center of its strategy, it will continue to differentiate itself.”
Proscia will demonstrate Concentriq at the Digital Pathology Association’s Pathology Visions conference from Oct 5-7.
