LabCorp, Mount Sinai Set Digital, AI-Enabled Pathology Center of Excellence

Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution will be deployed across the Mount Sinai Health System to support greater efficiency and help improve patient care

LabCorp® (NYSE: LH) and the Mount Sinai Health System today announced another element in their shared goal of improving laboratory services and patient care. LabCorp, a leading global life sciences company, and Mount Sinai, New York City’s largest integrated healthcare delivery system, will work together to establish the Mount Sinai Digital and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Enabled Pathology Center of Excellence.

“LabCorp and Mount Sinai continue to focus on innovations to enhance the quality and lower the costs of patient care, and we’re pleased to introduce digital pathology to Mount Sinai as the next phase of our collaboration,” said William B. Haas, senior vice president of LabCorp Diagnostics’ Northeast Division. “We’ve taken significant steps to enhance laboratory services across the Mount Sinai system since early 2017, and we look forward to continuing to build on those successes to advance LabCorp’s mission and our shared goal to improve health and improve lives.”

LabCorp, which has implemented the Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution in four of its laboratories and plans to introduce it to additional laboratories, will use its experience and expertise to lead the integration of digital pathology into clinical practice across Mount Sinai’s hospitals. Initially, digital pathology will be used for interpretations of genitourinary malignancies, mainly prostate tumors, as well as cancers of the head and neck. The next planned stage of implementation is for Mount Sinai pathologists to use the digital pathology solution to provide consultations for cases interpreted by LabCorp’s Dianon Pathology specialty laboratory. This will give physicians and patients from across the U.S. access to the leading expertise of Mount Sinai specialists.

The Center of Excellence will be housed within Mount Sinai’s Department of Pathology, Molecular and Cell-Based Medicine and will use the Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution to expand digital pathology capabilities for primary diagnosis and consultations across the Mount Sinai system. The department processes more than 80 million diagnostic tests a year, making it one of the largest academic departments of its kind in the country.
