Faster Case Finding
Because cancer cases begin with diagnosis, the ability to easily
identify new diagnoses is critical to fast and accurate case
finding. IMPAC’s PathConnect™ maximizes your oncology IT
investment by automatically transferring data from IMPAC’s
anatomic pathology system to IMPAC’s cancer registry system. The
result is expedited case finding, as well as decreased
transcription errors and improved data accuracy and consistency.
Standards Compliance
PathConnect is a Health Level 7 (HL7) compliant interface that
supports the import of pathology data elements – discrete
demographic and ICD-9 data fields, free text fields, and date
information – from virtually any anatomic pathology system that
supports HL7 pathology data export. In addition to exporting
discrete data fields in HL7 standard format, IMPAC anatomic
pathology customers can export data entered via the CAP protocol
worksheet utilizing SNOMED® coding.
Registry Integration
IMPAC registry applications accept inbound HL7 formatted files
for incorporation into the registry database. Upon receipt, the
IMPAC registrar creates a new abstract with the imported
information for patients not previously identified, or updates
an abstract for an existing patient. Integrating pathology
information with IMPAC registry systems aids case finding
efforts and provides a more complete abstract without redundant
data entry.
