Improving the creation and reporting of structured findings during digital pathology review
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.
Justifying a New LIMS When You Already Have One
It is hard to justify the purchase of a new LIMS when you already have one in place. This blog discusses how to develop your LIMS justification by looking at the Functionality and Technology based Quantitative measures as well as Qualitative, and how to Calculate ROI.Justifying a New LIMS When You Already Have One

IDBS provides bespoke software to Cancer Research Technology to streamline plate correction
IDBS and Cancer Research Technology (CRT), the commercialization arm of Cancer Research UK, have collaborated to streamline plate correction in high throughput screening (HTS). The algorithm, developed by IDBS in response to CRT requirements and soon to be offered to all customers, enables ActivityBase users to correct data within acceptable margins in seconds. It improves data quality and reduces the number of results that would otherwise need to be corrected manually or reworked, resulting in significant time and cost savings.

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."
