PowerPath Anatomic Pathology Information System

• Multi-site Configuration: PowerPath supports multi-site and multi-entity laboratory environments to assist the pathology group in servicing a single or integrated health enterprise.
• Flexible Transcription: True integration with Microsoft Word enables case transcription and allows for professional quality report documents.
• Image Management: PowerPath offers the ability to easily capture and associate images directly to a case. Images may be used for many purposes such as inclusion on the patient report, tumor conferences, internal meetings, publications or as a teaching tool.
• Internet Reporting: PowerPath offers the ability to publish patient reports to a secure web server and to notify the referring physician via email that the report is available.
• Diagnostic Dictionaries: Client-defined diagnostic dictionaries for cytology and surgical pathology (such as Dermatopathology dictionaries) allow standardized reporting and faster report turnaround.
• Paperless Operation: A secure electronic signature and online case review enables a truly paperless workflow, increasing productivity and reducing operating costs. With PowerPath, it is easy to access patient history information online, including previous case numbers, referring physicians, and diagnoses.
• Coding Enhancements: PowerPath supports automatic capture of CPT codes and billing charges, including online ordering of special stains and additional procedures. The system also features a separate tracking for professional and technical charges.
• HL-7 Interfaces: Standard ADT, Results Reporting, and Billing interfaces eliminate duplicate data processing with other information systems in the network.
• Quality Assurance: Quality Assurance reporting for cytology meets CLIA '88 guidelines and includes a client modifiable cytology dictionary for fast, accurate reporting and automatic QC flagging.
• Flexible Queries: PowerPath allows users to research cases using keyword, natural language, and SNOMED searches. The system also includes a standard program for surgical quality assurance, including frozen section correlation.
• Open Architecture: PowerPath runs on an open platform in a local area or wide area network. From the outset, our solution was designed to run natively on a TCP/IP network and to scale to the enterprise. PowerPath's open architecture allows for direct SQL database access, TCP/IP, or serial protocols.

PowerPath is a powerful software solution designed specifically for the practice of anatomic pathology. The system was developed over 10 years based on the ideas and practices of our clients and other laboratory professionals and continues to be one of the most effective and easy-to-use pathology systems available today.
