In this 2016 paper published in
Journal of Pathology Informatics, Cervin
et al. look at the state of pathology reporting, in particular that of structured or synoptic reporting. The group write about their prototype system that "sees reporting as an activity interleaved with image review rather than a separate final step," one that has "an interface to collect, sort, and display findings for the most common reporting needs, such as tumor size, grading, and scoring." They conclude that their synoptic reporting approach to pathology + imaging can provide a level of simplification to improve pathologists' time to report as well ability to communicate with the referring physician.

While big data is a popular topic these days, the quality of that data is at times overlooked. This 2015 paper published in
Data Science Journal attempts to address that importance and lay out a framework for big data quality assessment. After conducting a literature review on the topic, Cai and Zhu analyzed the challenges associated with ensuring quality of big data. "Poor data quality will lead to low data utilization efficiency and even bring serious decision-making mistakes," they conclude, presenting "a dynamic big data quality assessment process with a feedback mechanism, which has laid a good foundation for further study of the assessment model."

In this 2016 article published in
PLOS ONE, Van Tuyl and Whitmire take a close look at what "data sharing" means and what data sharing practices researchers have been using since the National Science Foundation's data management plan (DMP) requirements went into effect in 2011. Making federally-funded research "data functional for reuse, validation, meta-analysis, and replication of research" should be priority, they argue; however, they conclude not enough is being done in general. The researchers close by making "simple recommendations to data producers, publishers, repositories, and funding agencies that [they] believe will support more effective data sharing."

Regulated companies are making great efforts to raise their level of compliance with both the regulatory requirements and the expectations of governing agencies. However, companies often end up creating quality systems and mechanical processes that are too rigid for efficient Computer Systems Validation (CSV).

As a company which actively maximizes revenue for toxicology reference laboratories, we have witnessed a wide variety of billing and reimbursement scenarios over the past few years. Many of these scenarios are proper, but a large portion are either the result of not knowing any better, or worse yet, the result of knowingly false billing practices. The later scenarios can place your toxicology laboratory and all of your hard work at tremendous risk.
