IHE Pathology addresses information sharing, workflow and patient care in Pathology, including anatomical pathology.
 
 
IHE Pathology is sponsored by the [http://www.gmsih.fr the Organization for the Modernization of French Hospital Information Systems (GMSIH)], the French Association for the Developpement 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 French Society of Pathology)(SFP). It manages the [[Profiles#IHE Pathology Profiles| Pathology Profiles]] and the [[Frameworks| Pathology Technical Framework]].
 
 
__TOC__
 
 
The aim is to extend the IHE initiative to pathology laboratories, their information, automation, imaging systems and equipments.
 
 
The scope of the anatomic pathology includes surgical pathology, biopsies pathology, cytopathology, autopsies, and related techniques (immunohistochemistry, molecular pathology, etc).
 
 
Information systems in pathology laboratories gather medical data (text, images, etc) throughout specimen management from specimen reception to report editing.
 
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.

IHE Pathology has started work in the 2008-2009 Cycle. Contact the [[Pathology Planning and Technical Committee]] if you would like to participate.
 
 
===Profile Selection===
 
 
These '''Brief Profile Proposals''' were submitted for the 2008-2009 Development Cycle
 
* Pathology Reporting Workflow (PRWF)
 
* Digital imaging for research applications (Tissue Micro Arrays)
 
* Tissue banking
 
* Automatons
 
* Sharing terminology
 
 
These '''Detailed Profile Proposals''' were short-listed and evaluated by the Technical Committee
