Installation Process
PathIQ is not implemented as a software, but as a holistic solution implemented with institution-specific analysis, planning, training and optimization steps. Since the dynamics of each laboratory are different, the PathIQ installation proceeds with a gradual and structured methodology, starting with the preliminary analysis.
The process of adapting the software to the field is summarized step by step.
1️⃣ Workflow Analysis
The organization's current processes are analyzed in detail. Sample management, reporting and expert process flows are mapped step by step. Special needs are identified through this analysis.
2️⃣ Project Feasibility Report
The laboratory's readiness for digitalization is assessed based on the analysis results. Risks, areas for improvement and recommended installation scenarios are reported.
3️⃣ Project Setup Plan
A detailed installation plan is prepared according to the time schedule, task distribution, technical resource plan and user groups. The implementation steps are clarified and the project schedule is defined.
4️⃣ PathIQ Settings and Definitions
The system configuration is done:
Process steps
Workstations
User roles
Test catalogs
Function assignments
Report formats
defined according to laboratory needs.
5️⃣ Observation and Optimization
The process flow is observed through pilot trials prior to installation. System behavior, user experience, and integration performance are analyzed and necessary improvements are made.
6️⃣ Workstations Setup (Hardware)
The hardware to be used in the field (station computers, printers, scanners, etc.) is installed and integrated with PathIQ. Access rights and interface definitions are made for each station.
7️⃣ Trainings
Customized training programs are implemented for technicians, pathologists, administrators and IT teams. All teams are empowered in both system use and process control.
8️⃣ HIS / HMS Integration
PathIQ is fully integrated with hospital information management systems (HIS/HMS). Patient information, test requests and report results are synchronized with automatic data flow between systems.
9️⃣ Commissioning and Monitoring
All components are activated. Live use of the system is initiated. In the first weeks, support is provided by monitoring performance, user feedback and possible technical problems.
