Gastroenterology practices
Independent and multi-location GI groups managing routine biopsy volume and specialty diagnostic needs.
HIGH-VOLUME GI PATHOLOGY
Gastrointestinal Pathology for Endoscopy Workflows
Coordinate endoscopy biopsy intake, site-specific labeling, high-volume logistics, ancillary testing, reporting, and provider communication across GI practices and centers.
WHO WE SERVE
Built for Gastroenterology organizations
Operational design starts with the people, locations, procedures, and systems that need to work together.
Endoscopy centers
Procedural settings that need consistent containers, requisitions, pickup or shipping, and report routing.
GI networks and MSOs
Organizations seeking location-level visibility, standardized workflows, and implementation support.
COMMON SPECIMENS
Plan the workflow around the specimen
Examples describe potential AP workflows, not an unconditional statement of current test availability.
Endoscopy biopsy
Accepted esophageal, gastric, small bowel, and colorectal biopsy specimens submitted by site.
Colon polyp
Polypectomy and biopsy specimens with complete location and procedure information.
Barrett’s esophagus
Esophageal biopsy workflows requiring clear site designation and relevant clinical context.
H. pylori evaluation
Special stain or IHC support when clinically appropriate and available on the validated test menu.
Inflammatory bowel disease
Multi-site biopsy workflows that preserve segment identification and support longitudinal clinical context.
Liver biopsy
Potential tissue-review workflows subject to validation, specimen requirements, licensing, and onboarding.
RELEVANT AP SERVICES
A service pathway aligned to the clinical setting
Final scope is defined by the active laboratory menu, validated capabilities, specimen suitability, licensing, and onboarding.
GI surgical pathology
Histologic review of accepted endoscopic biopsy, polyp, and resection specimens.
Special stains and IHC
Ancillary testing ordered or selected within validated protocols and available capabilities.
Subspecialty consultation
Case-discussion and consultation pathways for ordering providers and approved referral materials.
Second-opinion review
Review of eligible outside GI pathology materials after scope and submission requirements are confirmed.
WORKFLOW BENEFITS
Designed for a more controlled pathology operation
High-volume intake design
Map containers, requisitions, batching, pickups, accession exceptions, and report routing around endoscopy schedules.
Site integrity
Support workflows that keep anatomic sites distinct from collection through reporting.
Operational visibility
Define tracking and exception workflows for missing information, delayed shipments, or accession questions.
Provider communication
Create a direct route for appropriate diagnostic and workflow questions.
SPECIMEN SUBMISSION NOTES
Confirm requirements before collection
GI workflows depend on accurate site designation and an approved high-volume collection process. Requirements should be mapped by facility before go-live.
Request Supplies →- 01Submit each anatomic site in the approved, separately identified container unless the validated workflow states otherwise.
- 02Include procedure type, specimen source, relevant history, and other required clinical context on the requisition.
- 03Confirm fixation, minimum specimen, and ancillary-testing requirements before collection.
- 04Establish pickup cutoffs, shipment packaging, and exception contacts during onboarding.
CONNECTIVITY & REPORTING
Fit result delivery to the client workflow
For high-volume GI organizations, connectivity planning can address location, provider, procedure, order, result, and distribution requirements.
Request an EMR Integration Review →Endoscopy ordering readiness
Plan structured orders and site information around the endoscopy-center workflow.
Result routing
Define portal or interface delivery for authorized users and applicable locations.
Implementation planning
Coordinate workflow discovery, vendor review, testing, validation, and go-live support.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions before onboarding
Can QTATLAB support high-volume endoscopy workflows?
QTATLAB can evaluate expected volume, schedules, locations, supplies, logistics, and connectivity during onboarding. Final capacity and service scope must be confirmed before go-live.
Are Barrett’s esophagus, H. pylori, and IBD workflows available?
These workflows may be supported within the active test menu. Specific stains, specimen requirements, and regulatory availability must be confirmed for the client.
How should multiple GI sites be submitted?
Each site should remain clearly identified according to the approved requisition and container workflow. Client Services will provide the current client-specific submission instructions.
Is liver biopsy review currently available?
Liver biopsy is presented as a capability placeholder. Availability is subject to laboratory validation, licensing, specimen requirements, and client onboarding.
