Main Results:

  • Mean awareness of telepathology was 2.43 (SD=0.89), with significant differences among professional groups (P=0.001).
  • Pathologists demonstrated higher awareness than managers, directors, and IT professionals (P=0.001).
  • IT professionals indicated that all implementation dimensions, except hardware, were above moderate influence.

Conclusions:

  • Stakeholders perceive telepathology as beneficial for healthcare quality and cost reduction.
  • Incorporating user viewpoints is critical for successful telepathology system implementation and resource planning.
