Broad feature set of a pathology information management solution
- automated reflex testing:
- adjunctive testing: Adjunctive testing is testing "that provides information that adds to or helps interpret the results of other tests, and provides information useful for risk assessment."[1] A common adjunctive test performed in cytopathology is HPV testing.[2][3] The FDA described this as such in 2003, specifically in regards to expanding the use of the Digene HC2 assay as an adjunct to cytology[2]:
In women 30 years and older, the HC2 High-Risk HPV DNA test can be used with Pap to adjunctively screen to assess the presence or absence of high-risk HPV types. This information, together with the physician’s assessment of cytology history, other risk factors, and professional guidelines, may be used to guide patient management.
Some vendors of pathology information management solutions allow users to manually add an adjunctive test to a primary pathology test, or in some cases this may be enabled as part of an automated reflex testing process. However, ensure that any such solution is capable of feeding any adjunctive test results into the final report, along with the results from the primary tests. Using adjunctive HPV test results as an example, the report should optimally include details such as assay name, manufacturer, the HPV types it covers, results, and any applicable educational notes and suggestions.[3]
