Aperio Introduces Affordable Throughput-Based Digital Pathology Service Model for Clinical Market
Innovative Program Ensures Maximum Productivity
Vista, CA – October 6, 2009 – Aperio, a global leader in digital pathology for the healthcare and life sciences industry, has launched a service offering that delivers a comprehensive digital pathology solution capable of achieving a guaranteed slide throughput, i.e., the ability to digitize a pre-determined number of glass slides per hour. Customers pay an affordable monthly fee that is based on their desired throughput, as part of the contract.
The Clinical Partner Service (CPS) program is designed specifically for hospitals and reference labs that need to scan batches of slides in a limited period of time on a daily basis. The CPS program enables labs to adopt digital pathology without the need for investing up-front capital. Aperio provides CPS customers with a comprehensive solution—based on a lab’s throughput needs—comprising the appropriate number of scanners, appropriate software licenses, professional services and on-going support, all wrapped into a simple monthly payment.
For additional information, Aperio representatives can be visited at booth 211 at the upcoming CAP ’09 conference in Washington, DC, October 11-14.
“The CPS program is simple and affordable, and will significantly reduce the barriers to adopting digital pathology while providing a customized solution,” said Dirk Soenksen, CEO of Aperio. “This service program aligns customers’ costs with their throughput needs, and scales to meet varying workflow requirements. Pilot testing of the CPS program has been extremely successful.”
The CPS program is yet another offering that sets Aperio apart in the clinical market, in addition to Aperio’s unique multi-site integration capabilities for disparate integrated delivery networks, and the ability to interface Aperio’s digital pathology systems with lab information systems (LIS) for maximum efficiencies and streamlining of workflow.
Aperio currently has an installed base of more than 500 systems in 31 countries, including more than two-thirds of the top 15 rated U.S. hospitals, leading academic medical centers and reference laboratories, and 14 of the top 15 pharmaceutical companies.
