By definition, physicians themselves are all experts in their chosen field. And from these experts, super-experts and super-specialists emerge who become the authorities on very narrow yet important subjects. A recent development in software makes it easy for any subject matter expert to translate their knowledge into a working application that guides users through processes like data collection and decision-making.

Sullivan’s book An Autobiography of an Idea is the inspiration for this story. You can still wander the streets of Boston and see some of the buildings that he saw, mentally dissected, and learned from more than a century ago. From that beginning, as a youth, his idea that “form ever follows function” evolved a new, more honest architecture brought later to full flower by his apprentice Frank Lloyd Wright.

The feature provides a grace period after a pathology report is signed out before it is released for consumption by the referring physician. Friedman notes how this is not appropriate for clinical lab systems, which deal mainly in numbers, as opposed to AP systems, which deal mainly with narrative text: Most clinical pathology results are numerical and various rules can be deployed such as auto Fri, 18 Jan 2008 16:49:18 GMT http://www.scribd.com/doc/1040778/Synoptic-Pathology-Reporting-Changes-Everything http://www.scribd.com/doc/1036253/Synoptic-Reporting-and-Structured-Data-Capture-in-Healthcare Synoptic Reporting and Structured Data Capture in Healthcare Introduction The amount of clinically significant findings a surgical pathologist is expected to report continues to increase. Many clinicians see the need for a standardized terminology and pathology report structure in order to clearly and quickly recognize the most important findings in determining treatment. The synoptic report (a synopsis or summary) addresses these issues by providing a standardized nomenclature, a set of universally required findings, and a very consistent report structure.
