Pathology Consult Automation for Clinicians
Let your AI agent handle consult summaries, draft requests, and follow-up tracking—so you can focus on patient care, not chasing paperwork.
You're a clinician juggling abnormal cell findings in Epic, sending consult requests through Outlook, and tracking follow-ups in Excel or sticky notes. Every manual step eats into your clinical time, and missed follow-ups can impact patient safety. The paperwork never ends, and the risk of errors grows with every handoff.
An AI agent that drafts, tracks, and organizes pathology consults for clinicians, reducing manual work in Epic, Outlook, and lab systems.

The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In healthcare, clinicians like you spend hours each week pulling abnormal cell results from Epic, drafting consult emails in Outlook, and updating follow-up lists in Excel. Each consult means repeating the same tedious steps: compiling patient history, attaching lab reports, and chasing responses. This manual process drains 3-4 hours weekly and increases the risk of missed or delayed consults.
