In the Laboratory

Apollo PathPACS® provides you the tools necessary to integrate the laboratory diagnostic process into your institution's digital infrastructure while simultaneously providing the lab personnel the ability to optimize the diagnostic process.

 

Apollo offers a picture archiving and communications solution: PathPACS® which is designed with a laboratory focus, much like radiology PACS is designed for the radiology department.

 

PathPACS® will enable you to expand your laboratory diagnostics to support additional throughput without expertise expansion. This can cover the increasing caseload at your institution due to internal growth and networking with other facilities. Lab diagnostic processes account for the current revenues in the lab. Apollo PathPACS® brings inefficiencies to the attention of your managers so that they can quickly be reduced while providing excess throughput capacity that can be used by lab personnel to create an immediate return on your investment and help grow your institution at an accelerated rate.
