We’re proud to share that Lisa-Jean Clifford, President of Gestalt Diagnostics, was a contributing co-author on a newly published article in the Journal of Pathology Informatics. The article, “A Framework for the Evaluation and Implementation of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Pathology,” provides critical guidance on how to safely and effectively integrate AI technologies into pathology workflows.
This peer-reviewed framework – developed by a multidisciplinary group of pathology and health technology experts—outlines six key domains that healthcare institutions should consider when evaluating and implementing AI tools in clinical practice. These include clinical utility, workflow integration, regulatory compliance, technical validation, and risk management.
“As we work to build a future where AI can truly support diagnostic excellence, collaboration across disciplines is critical. I’m honored to have contributed to this framework alongside leaders who are shaping the responsible adoption of these tools.”
— Lisa-Jean Clifford, President, Gestalt Diagnostics
The article is designed to build trust and transparency around the use of AI in pathology, offering a structured model that emphasizes safety, reproducibility, fairness, and long-term sustainability. At a time when artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, this work provides a meaningful foundation for labs and institutions seeking to navigate the complexities of digital transformation.
