Orchard Pathology will improve efficiency, reduce errors, simplify decision-making, eliminate paper files and storage, and with the onset of molecular testing, simplify the complexities of clinical, molecular, and pathology testing and reporting.

Orchard Pathology provides the comprehensive pathology laboratory with all the benefits of electronic record-keeping, rules-based decision-making, and the integration of results from all laboratory departments. Put all your results into one basket. Harvest the power of Orchard's comprehensive pathology system.

Stand-alone or Fully Integrated to Clinical & Molecular

For laboratories with clinical, cytology, and pathology departments, Orchard Pathology can be utilized as a stand-alone information system or integrated to the clinical laboratory with the award-winning Orchard® Harvest™ Laboratory Information System. The fully integrated pathology system utilizes a common database, and with a single mouse-click, you may access the patient’s entire clinical history and add clinical results to the cytology or pathology report. This streamlined process saves time in producing your most valuable product: the finished report.

Simplified Case Management

Orchard Pathology is designed to simplify case management by employing a worksheet window that you may customize for use with your established templates or protocols. The worksheet is very flexible, allowing you to add typed transcriptions, use pre-formatted templates and forms, or insert text generated by voice recognition. It is also easy to produce synoptic reports. And with the system’s multi-level sign-out procedures, you can forward cases for electronic review and final approval.

Robust Result Evaluation Rules for Reflex Testing

The robust rules-based decision-making power made famous in Orchard Harvest LIS is available throughout Orchard Pathology, and result evaluation rules for reflex testing customize workflow scenarios to individual needs. As an example, send-out tests, correlations, quality assurance protocols, and confirmatory testing can be automatically reflex-ordered according to verbiage in the report text. The rule triggers the protocol, provides internal and/or reportable documentation, and automatically adds charges for billable procedures.

Easy Image Management

The image management tools in Orchard Pathology make it easy for you to link digital images and scanned documents to case worksheets and/or patient reports. The system manages consultation reports, eliminating the need for bulky paper files, and provides a single source for all related patient reports. Orchard Pathology also supports a number of common image formats, and allows you to associate pertinent comments with each image.

Orchard Pathology Reports

A Single Patient Report Consolidates Results

Orchard Pathology simplifies the complexities of clinical, molecular, and pathology reporting by combining and consolidating results from various departments into a single patient report. For laboratories performing clinical, cytology, and pathology testing, Orchard Pathology utilizes a common database, and with a single mouse-click, you may access the patient’s entire clinical history and add clinical results to the cytology or pathology report. This streamlines the process of reporting, saves time, and allows you to consolidate all the patient’s results into a single report.

Full Menu of Management Reports

Unlike other systems, Orchard puts the power of creating ad-hoc reports in the lab, not the IT department. With Orchard Pathology, evaluations, correlation studies, quality assurance, regulatory, statistical, and many other management reports are easily created without special computer programming skills. With the system’s powerful data-mining browsers, you may perform searches and build reports by specimen, diagnosis, test result, or case number, and then print the completed reports as needed or schedule the reports to print automatically at a more convenient time.
