XIFIN Inc, San Diego, has acquired PathCentral, Irvine, Calif.
PathCentral is known for AP Anywhere,® a cloud-based anatomic pathology and molecular diagnostics laboratory information system (LIS) that is the next generation of its eTelenext, and for PathCentralPro.net.
AP Anywhere integrates key components of a pathology practice’s day-to-day operations.
PathCentralPro.net allows pathologists to upload case files using digital pathology images in a web-based setting across the campus or worldwide, to review and render critical secondary consult diagnoses, and provides a forum for the pathologists to share cases and cultivate professional relationships. It is open to all users regardless of location, consulting institution, scanning, or reading technology to help streamline pathology consultation by reducing turnaround times for cancer patients and eliminating the need to transport tissue samples and slides.
The acquisition furthers XIFIN’s ability to support the convergence of diagnostics between the lab, anatomic pathology, radiology, and other diagnostic service providers to improve health outcomes and lower the costs of health care management, says Lâle White, CEO, XIFIN.
PathCentral’s professional network has grown, with a membership that includes institutions such as Johns Hopkins, Massachusetts General Hospital, Penn Medicine, and University of Southern California, as well as Kindstar Global, which provides high-end specialty testing lab services in China.
