"Pathology Informatics" refers to the application of information technology and data management principles to the practice of pathology. It involves the integration and utilization of digital tools, systems, and technologies to enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and overall effectiveness of pathology services. Pathology informatics is conveniently defined as the study and management of pathology information, information systems, and process (or workflows). Key Areas of Pathology Informatics:

Laboratory Information Systems (LIS):
LIS are specialized software platforms that manage and track samples, test results, and related data within a pathology lab. They are central to pathology informatics, ensuring that data flows smoothly from sample collection to diagnosis and reporting.

Data Integration and Management:
Pathology informatics involves the integration of various data sources, such as electronic health records (EHRs), genomic data, and imaging data, into a cohesive system. This enables comprehensive analysis and better-informed decision-making.
