Driving Need for Universally Applicable Digital Pathology Model

Endeavor Health’s strategic partnership with Google Cloud was driven by the need for a universally applicable digital model capable of elevating pathology services not only within the Endeavor Health network but across the broader healthcare landscape. This digital pathology system will streamline collaboration among physicians by facilitating the effortless sharing of digital files for second opinions, ultimately leading to more informed and confident diagnoses. Furthermore, it will empower patients to become more active participants in their healthcare journey.

“To truly transform patient care, digital pathology must move beyond isolated systems that can’t connect to each other and embrace a safe, seamless and personal approach,” said John Groth, MD, a pathologist at Endeavor Health and lead for the digital pathology project. “This will allow us to drive transformation and advance diagnostics in ways that make a positive impact for patients across our system and deliver the best care now and in the future.”
