The pathologist's workstation.

Abstract:

:To leverage the time and expertise of the pathologist, a comprehensive workstation is a useful tool. Because the practice of pathology is so diverse, however, there is no one standard for what constitutes a workstation. The author reviews the several elements and components which must be included (access to your LIS, word processing, electronic mail, Web browser, literature search), and also reviewed are the many more which may be included, depending on the specialized needs of the practitioner (statistical analysis, ROC curves, image analysis, voice synthesis). It is, however, up to the pathologist to determine which of these components are required and to assemble them in as seamless a manner as possible.
