Computer-Assisted Diagnostic Surgical Pathology Reporting

Abstract
A very simple method of computer-assisted reporting of surgical pathology (including gross description, microscopic description, and diagnosis) has been developed. This method is based on a modification of the existing microbiology program and files in the comprehensive MedLab Company Pathlab® computer system, with the use of mark sense cards for entering surgical number, gross and microscopic description, diagnosis and pathologist’s name. The chief advantages of this system compared with other computerized surgical pathology reporting methods are its speed and simplicity of operation, reduction in clerical time, and production of concise reports for the patients’ charts.
