Abstract
An on-line approach to coordinating intradepartmental anatomic pathology consultations is provided. In accordance with one method in a clinical computing environment, a command to initiate the share event for the anatomic pathology case is received. Review of the anatomic pathology case by one or more share recipients is then coordinated by the system. Coordination of the share event may include tracking the location of physical case materials associated with the anatomic pathology case. Finally, the system may receive an indication that the share event for the anatomic pathology case has been completed.
