In a recent CAP Today article, Lisa-Jean Clifford highlights, “The agency’s decision to extend remote review to all laboratory personnel reflects a recognition of the value and role of digital pathology, she says. “Glass can get lost, be misplaced, and it can break. Tissue fades or changes in character from its original state over time. A digital image is always accessible—anywhere, anytime, and in its original quality—and will always reflect what the diagnosing pathologist saw at the time of diagnosis. All these points lend to the understanding that not only is remote digital viewing, workflow, and sign-out not a risk for anybody—patient or lab personnel—it provides clear advantages for both.” (Albert, 2023)
