“I signed out 15 cases from 35,000 feet.”

On page 18 of this months' CAP Today within in article dedicated to "AP IT" is an ad from PathCentral mentioning the work of Dr. Greg Henderson and using onboard Wi-Fi, the ability to acccess a web-based LIS solution and review whole slide images from 35,000 feet as part of a non-profit health care initiative. 

Talk about cloud computing.  

Mobile devices, ubiquitous high speed bandwidth and web-based LIS systems allow for slide review and diagnoses independent of geography, even if you are flying over a fly-over state.

Check out the free online CAP Today publication for thoughts from many on the current state of "AP IT" and CAP Today's review of AP LIS systems this month.
