IMPAC Announces PowerPath®
Version 9 Live in Two Sites
Oregon Health & Science University and Health First benefit from clinical use of advanced pathology management system
IMPAC announces that both Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and Health First Care System (Health First) went live with PowerPath version 9 anatomic pathology system software in a clinical setting. With new features such as CAP Protocol Worksheet, enhanced GYN Cytology Reporting with HPV reflex testing, worklist enhancements, advanced case finding tools and optional modules that include Immunohistochemistry Resulting (IHC)
and Enhanced Outreach Reporting, version 9 is one of the biggest
releases ever for the PowerPath product line.
PowerPath version 9 offers convenient password-based customization of multiple worklists which helps OHSU manage its 20 different histology and cytogenetics worklists.
"Version 9 has really enhanced our ability to generate reports that include the CAP protocols and presents immunohistochemistry results in a much clearer format," says Megan Troxell, MD, OHSU pathologist. "The worklist enhancements have also been received with excitement in our labs due to the flexibility in browser views and reports. This flexibility has served us well in our various specialty labs."

PowerPath version 9's Enhanced Outreach Reporting module enabled Health First to create detailed and informative reports that include body-site maps. Health First also uses PowerPath version 9's HPV reflex module to automatically reflex HPV tests based on clinician-requested patient diagnoses, and to send the tests to a worklist for tracking purposes.
"We are looking forward to using all of the additional features offered with PowerPath version 9," states Marco Burenko, M.D., Medical Director at Health First's Cape Canaveral Hospital. "Our implementation went very smoothly due to the excellent on site support during our go live."
"IMPAC is pleased that OHSU and Health First have gone live with PowerPath version 9 with such satisfactory results and are confident that the new features in the version 9 release will bring numerous improvements to their pathology operations," states George Rugg, VP and General Manager of IMPAC Medical Systems, Inc.'s LIS Business Unit "We appreciate their participation in our Beta program and are looking forward to monitoring their clinical use of PowerPath version 9."
