Along with adopting new technology, the hospital has hired 24 new digital pathology coordinators, according to an Oct. 9 news release from NYU Langone.

Goals of the digital pathology program include improving efficiency, empowering AI models with digitized images, earlier diagnosis to shorten time from testing to treatment, enhancing medical team collaboration and paving the way for opportunities for pathologists to work with patients regarding diagnosis. 

The program is being implemented in partnership with technology conglomerate Philips, the release said.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
