Histopathology

Histopathology Laboratory Software

Our flagship LIMS solution. Case-centric management from registration through BMS processing, SNOMED-CT coding, and section-by-section consultant authorisation to final PDF report generation.

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 tissue diagnostics.

From case registration through BMS processing to consultant-authorised reports, our system provides complete visibility and control over every step of the diagnostic case lifecycle.

  • Case-centric management from registration through to consultant sign-off
  • SNOMED-CT coding for standardised diagnostic classification
  • Four-stage BMS pipeline with named technician attribution
  • Section-by-section authorisation for quality-controlled reporting

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 diagnostic codes during microscopic examination. Multiple codes per case with type, code, and description.

6
📝

Diagnosis & Reporting

Record macroscopic and microscopic findings. Generate professional reports with SNOMED coding and structured templates.

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.

Histopathology cases follow a surgical biopsy pathway with macro, micro, and supplementary sections. Post-mortem cases include 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 tissue diagnostics.

🏷️

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 Reporting

Separate report sections for specimen details, clinical details, macroscopic description, microscopic findings, and supplementary reporting. Each section independently authorised.

🔍

SNOMED Coding

Standardised diagnostic coding for topography, morphology, and procedures. Enables consistent data analysis and 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
