Leveraging Digital Image Technology for Rapid Interpretation of Immunohistochemical (IHC) Stained Slides

Incorporating technological advances in digital imaging (eSlides) enhances research, education, and patient care across the street and around the world. Cleveland Clinic Laboratories now offers web-based eSlides of IHC-stained slides to help optimize clinical workflow for IHC.

In collaboration with Aperio, a provider and global leader of ePathology Solutions, a secure internet site provides access for clients to read immunohistochemically stained eSlides on a computer monitor anytime, anywhere. When a case is opened, all case, specimen and slide information, as well as controls are conveniently at your fingertips.

The service provides access to eSlide conferencing and secure messaging allowing the pathology community to engage in dialog and exchange information.

The opportunity to view stained eSlides within 24 hours after the blocks arrive at Cleveland Clinic may help clients follow a staining algorithm rather than requesting batches of stains, some of which may ultimately be unnecessary.
