Area of Science:

  • Digital pathology
  • Medical informatics
  • Healthcare technology

Context:

  • Low population density and vast geographic area in Eastern Québec present challenges for healthcare access.
  • Limited availability of pathology laboratories and pathologists necessitates innovative service delivery models.

Purpose:

  • To establish a uniform diagnostic telepathology service across Eastern Québec.
  • To provide remote frozen section and second opinion services to surgeons and pathologists.
  • To reduce the need for patient transfers by offering on-demand consultations.

Summary:

  • The Eastern Québec telepathology network connects 21 sites with advanced equipment, including whole slide scanners and videoconferencing.
  • The network supports sites lacking pathology labs or with limited pathologist staffing.
