Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the widespread adoption of digital pathology (DP) for primary diagnosis in surgical pathology. This paradigm shift is likely to influence how we function routinely in the postpandemic era. We present learnings from early adoption of DP for a live digital sign-out from home in a risk-mitigated environment.
Materials and Methods:
We aimed to validate DP for remote reporting from home in a real-time environment and evaluate the parameters influencing the efficiency of a digital workflow. Eighteen pathologists prospectively validated DP for remote use on 567 biopsy cases including 616 individual parts from 7 subspecialties over a duration from March 21, 2020, to June 30, 2020. The slides were digitized using Roche Ventana DP200 whole-slide scanner and reported from respective homes in a risk-mitigated environment.
Results:
Following re-review of glass slides, there was no major discordance and 1.2% (
n
= 7/567) minor discordance. The deferral rate was 4.5%. All pathologists reported from their respective homes from laptops with an average network speed of 20 megabits per second.
Conclusion:
We successfully validated and adopted a digital workflow for remote reporting with available resources and were able to provide our patients, an undisrupted access to subspecialty expertise during these unprecedented times.

Background:
Digital pathology has been increasingly implemented for primary surgical pathology diagnosis. In our institution, digital pathology was recently deployed in the gynecologic (GYN) pathology practice. A notable challenge encountered in the digital evaluation of GYN specimens was high rates of scanning failure of specimens with fragmented as well as scant tissue. To improve tissue detection failure rates, we implemented a novel use of the collodion bag cell block preparation method.
Materials and Methods:
In this study, we reviewed 108 endocervical curettage (ECC) specimens, representing specimens processed with and without the collodion bag cell block method (
n
= 56 without collodion bag,
n
= 52 with collodion bag).
Results:
Tissue detection failure rates were reduced from 77% (43/56) in noncollodion bag cases to 23/52 (44%) of collodion bag cases, representing a 42% reduction. The median total area of tissue detection failure per level was 0.35 mm
2
(interquartile range [IQR]: 0.14, 0.70 mm
2
) for noncollodion bag cases and 0.08 mm
2
(IQR: 0.03, 0.20 mm
2
) for collodion bag cases. This represents a greater than fourfold reduction in the total area of tissue detection failure per level (
P
< 0.001). In addition, there were no out-of-focus levels among collodion bag cases, compared to 6/56 (11%) of noncollodion bag cases (median total area = 4.9 mm
2
).
Conclusions:
The collodion bag method significantly improved the digital image quality of fragmented/scant GYN curettage specimens, increased efficiency and accuracy of diagnostic evaluation, and enhanced identification of tissue contamination during processing. The logistical challenges and labor cost of deploying the collodion bag protocol are important considerations for feasibility assessment at an institutional level.
