E-Path solutions have been successfully implemented in the following projects:
AIM designed and implemented an E-Path solution for the automated electronic submission of pathology
reports that will securely and efficiently deliver data from lab to cancer registry. This system automates the process of gathering and
filtering pathology results that monitor the incidence of cancer in California. The E-Path system converts reports to standardized
terminology and encodes medical content. AutoCode and TransMed
are the AIM products that work together to provide this E-Path solution.
AIM developed the Pathology Information Management System (PIMS), an electronic tumor pathology reporting system to support rapid
population-wide surveillance of cancer. The system is being expanded to include pathology data from over 100 Ontario laboratories.
The PIMS system improves compliance, timeliness and quality of information submitted to the Ontario Cancer Registry. It reduces
the cost of processing reports, and provides efficient access to relevant information by researchers and clinicians.
In 2005, this project won the CIPA Gold Award of Excellence in the category of
Organizational Transformation. PIMS uses ISIS components and
TransMed
ISIS components are being used at City of Hope in Los Angeles to view, edit and annotate reports
that are being sent to the Los Angeles County Cancer Surveillance Program. City of Hope is one of several Los Angeles hospitals
that is using AIM's E-path system to prepare pathology reports in a way that is acceptable to the cancer registry.
AIM developed and maintains the Centralized Medical Record for Cervical Cytology (CytoBase)
in support of
Ontario's cervical screening program using ISIS components and
TransMed. This system helps to protect over 3 million women
in Ontario by tracking pap smear results and providing information to their physicians.
The lab results stored in the INSCYTE database can be securely accessed in real-time by registered physicians through an
internet based interface developed by HealthDesk, AIM's subsidiary, called CytoBase for
Clinicians. This provides healthcare providers with current information that promotes the best care for their patients.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR) uses AIM's
E-Path solution to collect data in their Nevada and Ohio registries. NPCR is using this data
to enable public health professionals to determine the national burden of cancer.
AIM's E-path systems connects the Healthcare Corporation of St. John's to
the Newfoundland Cancer Registry. AIM is now integrating pathology data from six laboratories across the province.
The E-path system will improve both data quality and cost efficiency in care reporting and ultimately will
result in better patient care.
The National Cancer Insitute (NCI) has entered into a Sole Source contract with AIM, to use AIM's
E-Path solution for their Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program.
E-Path is being provided to all the SEER registries and their major reporting laboratories.
E-Path has currently been implemented in 13 of the registries and 207 reporting hospitals and laboratories in
Atlanta, Connecticut, Detroit, Greater California, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Los Angeles, New Jersey, New Mexico, Northern California,
Seattle and Utah.
AIM designed and implemented an innovative E-Path solution for the
automated electronic submission of pathology reports that securely and efficiently delivers data from lab to cancer registry.
This system improves quality of data while automating the process of gathering and filtering pathology results that monitor
the incidence of cancer in Utah.
The E-Path system converts reports to standardized terminology and encodes medical content.
AutoCode, TransMed and
ISIS components are the AIM products that work together to provide this
E-Path solution.
