Histopathology

Histopathology Laboratory Software

Our flagship LIMS solution. Case-centric management from registration through BMS processing, SNOMED-CT coding, and section-by-section authorisation status tracking to case closure and document compilation.

Designed by Pathologists, for Pathologists

CorePathology was originally developed specifically for histopathology laboratories, with input from practicing pathologists and laboratory managers who understand the unique challenges of histopathology operations.

From case registration through BMS processing to authorisation status tracking and case closure, our system provides complete visibility and control over every step of the laboratory case lifecycle.

  • Case-centric management from registration through to case closure
  • SNOMED-CT coding for standardised terminology entry
  • Four-stage BMS pipeline with named technician attribution
  • Section-by-section status tracking for completeness and quality control

Complete Workflow

From Specimen to Report

Track every step of the histopathology process with full audit trails and real-time status visibility.

1
📋

Case Registration

Create cases with patient demographics, clinical history, and referring clinician details. Link multiple specimens to a single case.

2
📦

Specimen Receipt

Register multiple specimens per case with unique identifiers. Each specimen linked to its own report template and processing history.

3
🔬

BMS Processing

Four-stage BMS pipeline: prosection, cut-up, embedding, and QC checking. Each stage attributed to a named BMS technician.

4
🎨

Staining

Automated staining workflow management including H&E, special stains, and immunohistochemistry panels.

5
🖥️

SNOMED Coding

Assign SNOMED-CT codes during microscopic examination. Multiple codes per case with type, code, and description.

6
📝

Record Entry & Compilation

The pathologist records macroscopic and microscopic findings. The system compiles case documentation from these entries using structured templates and SNOMED-CT coding.

Histopathology & Post-Mortem Pathways

CorePathology supports both histopathology and post-mortem/coroner cases with distinct workflows, report sections, and data capture fields tailored to each case type.

For histopathology cases, the system provides data entry fields for macro, micro, and supplementary sections following a surgical biopsy pathway. For post-mortem cases, the system captures the pathologist’s entries for cause of death, internal examination, tissue retained, toxicology, and histology sections.

  • 5 histopathology report sections with independent authorisation
  • 5 post-mortem report sections for coroner cases
  • Coroner & mortuary tracking with forensic evidence fields
  • Separate PDF report templates for each case type
Dual case type pathways for histopathology and post-mortem
Key Features

Everything Your Histopathology Lab Needs

Comprehensive functionality designed specifically for histopathology operations.

🏷️

Block & Slide Tracking

Full traceability of tissue blocks and slides throughout processing. Block prefix, number, and description captured with slide counts per block.

🔖

Slide Management

Track slides from sectioning to archival with block-level workload counts. Manage accredited and unaccredited special stain requests with full completion workflow.

💉

Antibody & Reagent Management

Full antibody register with clonality, dilution, pretreatment, and control tissue tracking. Individual vial management with lot numbers and expiry dates.

🎯

Special Stain Requests

Request and track accredited and unaccredited special stains per case. Full workflow from request through ordering, cutting, and completion with auto case movement.

📊

Structured Record Entry

Separate report sections for specimen details, clinical details, macroscopic description, microscopic findings, and supplementary content. Each section’s completion and authorisation status is independently tracked.

🔍

SNOMED Coding

Standardised SNOMED-CT coding for topography, morphology, and procedures. Enables consistent data analysis and operational reporting.

👥

Multi-Role Users

Consultants, pathologists, clinicians, BMS technicians, and client users each see role-appropriate views and actions.

BMS QC Checking

Fourth BMS processing stage provides quality verification of prepared slides before release to pathologists.

📁

Financial Tracking

Case pricing, invoice tracking, budget code assignment, and billing notes for commercial laboratory operations.

🖥️

Scanner Integration

Vendor-agnostic whole slide image scanner integration. Three slide naming modes, per-client scanner locations, and slide count validation at case check-in.
