==Introduction==<br />
IHE Anatomic Pathology addresses information sharing, workflow and patient care in Pathology, including anatomical pathology.<br />
<br />
===Sponsors===<br />
IHE Anatomic Pathology is sponsored by the French Association for the Development of Informatics in Pathology (ADICAP), the [http://www.seis.es Spanish Health Informatics Society (SEIS)], the [http://www.seap.es Spanish Society of Pathology (SEAP)], the [http://www.sfpathol.org/ French Society of Pathology (SFP)]. It manages the [[Profiles#IHE Pathology Profiles| Pathology Profiles]] and the [[Frameworks| Pathology Technical Framework]].<br />
<br />
===Objective and Scope===<br />
The aim is to extend the IHE initiative to anatomic pathology laboratories, their information, automation, imaging systems and equipments.<br />
The scope of the anatomic pathology includes surgical pathology, biopsies pathology, cytopathology, autopsies, and related techniques (immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, etc).<br />
<br />
Information systems in anatomic pathology laboratories gather medical data (text, images, etc) throughout specimen management from specimen reception to report editing. <br />
The diagnostic process in anatomical pathology (figure 1) differs from that in the clinical laboratory since it relies on image interpretation. It also differs from that in radiology since it is specimen-driven and when digital imaging is performed many types of imaging equipments (gross imaging, microscopic still imaging, whole slide imaging, multispectral imaging, etc) may be involved for a single examination. Moreover, images of the same study may be related to different specimen (parts and/or slides) from one or even different patients (e.g Tissue Micro Array). Finally, slides are always available to acquire more images, if needed. In radiology, the diagnostic process is patient-driven, an examination (study) usually involves a single image acquisition modality and all images of the study are related to one and only one patient.<br />

XDS.b facilitates the registration, distribution and access across health enterprises of patient electronic health records. It provides a standards-based interoperable approach for managing the sharing of documents between any healthcare enterprise, ranging from a private physician office to a clinic to an acute care facility. XDS.b improves patient safety and staff efficiency by allowing timely access to patient data at the point of care. <br />

===Test Tools by Profile and Actor===<br />
The list of tools above gives you the location of the software and a general description of the scope of the tools. For testing a specific IHE profile, you may find it helpful to use these links.<br />
<br />
[[:Category:Profile Implementations|IHE Tools by Profile]] lists each Integration Profile and provides links to the software and documentation.<br />
<br />
[http://ihewiki.wustl.edu/wiki/index.php/Pre-Connectathon/MESA_Software IHE Tools by Actor] lists each IHE Actor with links to the software and documentation.<br />
<br />
In some cases you will find that two different software implementations are used to test a single actor.<br />

[[Mailing Lists]] exist for all IHE Domains, most IHE Regions and most implementation projects (such as IHE Connectathons and IHE Demonstrations).<br />
<br />
The [http://hcxw2k1.nist.gov/wiki/index.php/IHE_-_Integrating_the_Healthcare_Environment| NIST IHE Wiki] is particularly useful to those implementing IHE Profiles from the IHE IT Infrastucture Domain.<br />
<br />
[http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/ohf-dev/maillist.html| OHF-dev] is a mailing list with useful discussions for IHE developers.<br />
