To drive [[Translational research|translational medicine]], modern day [[biobank]]s need to integrate with other sources of data (e.g., [[Health informatics|clinical]], [[genomics]]) to support novel data-intensive research.

"A survival guide for the rapid transition to a fully digital workflow: The Caltagirone example"

Digital pathology for the routine assessment of cases for primary diagnosis has been implemented by few laboratories worldwide. The Gravina Hospital in Caltagirone (Sicily, Italy), which collects cases from seven different hospitals distributed in the Catania area, converted its entire workflow to digital starting from 2019. Before the transition, the Caltagirone pathology laboratory was characterized by a non-tracked workflow, based on paper requests, and hand-written blocks and slides, as well as manual assembling and delivering of the cases and glass slides to the pathologists. Moreover, the arrangement of the spaces and offices in the department was illogical and under-productive for the linearity of the workflow. For these reasons, an adequate 2D barcode system for tracking purposes, the redistribution of laboratory spaces, and the implementation of whole-slide imaging (WSI) technology based on a laboratory information system (LIS)-centric approach ...
