Lexington, Mass., April 14, 2023 – FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of enterprise imaging and informatics solutions, will debut Synapse Pathology, the company’s newly acquired and branded digital pathology PACS solution at the 2023 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual meeting in booth #2801. Synapse Pathology is an open, vendor-agnostic, end-to-end solution designed for medical facilities that handle large volumes of pathology images and data across multiple locations. Synapse Pathology delivers digital images for diagnosis 1.7 hours faster* than glass slides and facilitates instant sharing of patient cases with subspecialists to enhance cross-departmental collaboration and diagnostic efficiency.
Synapse Pathology was designed to seamlessly support the art of precision diagnostics for pathologists. The software uses whole slide images from multiple scanning vendors to create a straightforward direction for pathology digitization across laboratories. This digitization allows laborites to realize the benefits of faster patient results, centralized imaging records, and enterprise access to images for all clinicians. The system uses an intuitive user interface to put the tools each pathologist needs at their fingertips. The solution also includes an online digital assistant to help pathologists navigate case information and presents tools for measurements, annotations, collaboration, and messaging.
"The addition of Pathology to our enterprise imaging portfolio is exciting for us, as it aligns with our expertise and strengths in the area of digitizing medical imaging and helping providers smoothly transition to all the benefits of digital workflow” says Bill Lacy, senior vice president, medical informatics, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “We never lose sight of the bigger picture when introducing new innovation, and now as Pathology evolves to embrace all of the new benefits of digital imaging with Synapse Pathology, we will also be leveraging our award-winning Synapse Enterprise Imaging portfolio to bring Pathology into the workflow of the healthcare enterprise.”
