Insights, updates, and best practices from the CorePathology team. Stay up to date with the latest in laboratory technology and digital pathology.
From whole slide imaging to machine learning-assisted screening, digital pathology is reshaping how laboratories operate. We explore the current state of AI in histopathology, what regulatory frameworks like the MHRA and FDA are requiring for clinical deployment, and how LIMS platforms must evolve to support image-linked reporting and algorithm-driven workflows.

The 2022 revision of ISO 15189 introduces a stronger emphasis on risk-based thinking, impartiality, and documented process validation. We break down the key changes from the 2012 edition and explain how your LIMS audit trails, document control, and quality management workflows should be configured to satisfy UKAS assessors.
Missed TAT targets are a persistent challenge in histopathology. We examine five practical approaches — from smarter batch scheduling and workload balancing across cut-up, embedding, and staining stages, to real-time KPI dashboards that flag bottlenecks before they impact reporting deadlines.
NHS England's push towards FHIR R4 is changing how laboratory systems exchange data with EPRs and order communications platforms. We look at the timeline, the key FHIR resources relevant to pathology (DiagnosticReport, Specimen, ServiceRequest), and what labs running legacy HL7v2 interfaces should be planning now.
