Telepathology Impacts and Implementation Challenges: A Scoping Review

Abstract: Context Telepathology is a particular form of telemedicine that fundamentally alters the way pathology services are delivered. Prior reviews in this area have mostly focused on 2 themes, namely technical feasibility issues and diagnosis accuracy. Objectives To synthesize the literature on telepathology implementation challenges and broader organizational and societal impacts and to propose a research agenda to guide future ef… Show more

“…A number of possible telepathology network structures exist and each one may have differing requirements in this regard. 10 The fundamental question most pathologists or laboratory directors will face when planning the implementation of a WSI system is ''where do I start?'' Although there are likely many successful approaches to this question, we will focus on our approach based on our experience as early adopters.…”

“…Reliable pathology consultation services are critically needed in developing countries. Half of all fellowship trained pathologists work in the US, serving less than 5% of the global population [ 51 ]. Access to pathologists with dermatopathology experience or dermatopathology specialization is even more difficult to find in the global setting, creating an additional layer of challenges for physicians caring for skin diseases in remote settings.…”
