The digital transformation of pathology is underway, and laboratories increasingly need equipment and software that enables the use of innovative diagnostic tools such as machine learning/artificial intelligence. To implement any of these diagnostic tools, laboratory leadership must take several pre-analytic considerations into account.

Matthew Hanna, MD, FCAP, authored a new case on this topic for the Informatics Essentials for Pathologists Program. In this episode, he shares insights on the prerequisites necessary for a successful digital pathology system implementation.
