Pathology laboratories are not only centers that produce accurate diagnoses; they are also complex systems where high-cost devices, critical stock items and expert manpower work together. In order to manage this structure sustainably, efficiently and reliably, a data-based approach , rather than an intuitive one, is essential.
At this point, PathIQ is not only a system that digitizes processes; it is also a powerful analysis and reporting infrastructure that provides strategic insights to decision makers.
