"My current academic interests are in the fields of pathology informatics and practice management, including quality assurance and patient safety. The computer has long been a tool for data storage and management. More recently, information systems have become integrated into the daily practice of pathology, providing not only access to data, but also directing workflow, managing resources, and helping to guide medical decisions. Proper design of these systems is crucial to their being a useful adjunct to patient care rather than an obstacle which has to be overcome. Such design requires a comprehensive understanding of the clinical workflow as well as the capabilities and limitations of the information systems. In many cases, custom software development provides the greatest gain in workflow optimization, clinician productivity and efficiency, and patient safety. Proper capture and storage of data can also enable subsequent workflow analysis and quality tracking." - Dr. Sinard, Yale School of Medicine.
On alternating months, “Mentoring Mondays” provides an opportunity for residents, fellows, and the wider community to learn about pathology informatics from well-known practitioners in the field, as well as from noted practicing pathologists with interests in informatics. We hope this provides a friendly space for informaticists and future informaticists to engage with one another and to achieve the following goals:
