Digital Ready Slides

Olga Colgan Global Brand Strategy Director, Leica Biosystems

The adoption of digital pathology is a multifaceted project involving many stakeholders across the pathology department. The impact on the laboratory is not isolated to simply installing a scanner but rather affects the whole workflow to generate optimized Digital Ready Slides.

Standardization of histological slide preparation requires focusing on optimizing individual workflow steps and a holistic overview of the complete process from sample acquisition right through to diagnosis.

Knowing this in advance and taking appropriate steps to support effectively change management can promote engagement and pave a path to success.

In this webinar, Dr. Olga Colgan shares some insight into the adoption of digital pathology, and the appropriate steps to support change management to help promote engagement and a path to success.

Learning Objectives

  • Define the key attributes of Digital Ready Slides
  • Demonstrate the impact of tissue preparation steps on scan quality
  • Provide practical guidance to creating Digital Ready Slides and additional considerations at each laboratory step
