LabCorp Diagnostics Northeast Division senior vice-president William Haas said: “LabCorp and Mount Sinai continue to focus on innovations to enhance the quality and lower the costs of patient care, and we’re pleased to introduce digital pathology to Mount Sinai as the next phase of our collaboration.
“We’ve taken significant steps to enhance laboratory services across the Mount Sinai system since early 2017, and we look forward to continuing to build on those successes to advance LabCorp’s mission and our shared goal to improve health and improve lives.”
So far, LabCorp has implemented the Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution in four of its laboratories and has further plans to introduce it to additional sites.
