A labeling system for pathology reports which is useful to adhere the prepared report directly to the patient's chart without the need for transcription. The system of the invention incorporates means for ease of recognition of problem diagnosis, graphics of the biopsy anatomical site which includes colorization that allows easy identification of diagnosis and the area to be treated. The system of the invention also provides for an indication of recommended follow-up treatment, non-treatment or close follow-up as may be appropriate. This system includes an overlay system and a system to follow suspicious lesions with or without their physical relationship to previously biopsied sites. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is directed to providing a clinician or hospital with pathology laboratory reports including a labeling system for pathology reports, which is useful in adhering sections of the prepared report directly to the patient's chart without the need for transcription.
The reporting system of the invention incorporates means for ease of recognition of problem diagnoses and graphics of the biopsy anatomical site, which includes color coded categories that allow easy identification of diagnosis and the areas to be treated.
The labeling system includes a clinical photograph and/or photomicrograph, digital histology photograph, a photograph of the patient's biopsy, and a superimposed overlay of the patient's previous biopsies, i.
e.
, namely a diagram of biopsies at the same site over time.
The advantages of this labeling system include (a) rapid easy charting, (b) avoidance of errors in transcription or labeling the wrong chart,(c) recognition of problem diagnoses, (d) quicker facilitation of clinical follow-up, (e) highlighting and describing clinical follow-up so as to avoid failure to treat, (f) graphics of the biopsy anatomical site including colorization that allows easy identification of a diagnosis category and area to be treated, (g) identification of recommended follow-up areas, (h) easy labeling of specimen bottles and fungal cultures, (i) customization of the labeling system in order to allow variations specified by the clinician, by using the software program accompanying the system, i) better clinical follow-up to patient, staff, and/or referring doctor via personalized facsimile of pathology report and personalized educational letters and fact sheets, and (k) interactive reports and personalized reports that allow for client comment and personalized reports that can be changed via internet access.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an improved system for reporting laboratory pathology results.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a clinician or hospital with a pathology report labeling system that includes a summary report to adhere to the patients chart
