Pathology informatics is a subfield of [[health informatics]]. It is the use of information technology in pathology. It encompasses pathology laboratory operations, data analysis, and the interpretation of pathology-related information.

Key aspects of pathology informatics include:
*[[Laboratory information management system]]s (LIMS): Implementing and managing computer systems specifically designed for pathology departments. These systems help in tracking and managing patient specimens, results, and other pathology data.
*[[Digital pathology]]: Involves the use of digital technology to create, manage, and analyze pathology images. This includes side scanning and automated image analysis.
*[[Telepathology]]: Using technology to enable remote pathology consultation and collaboration. 
*[[Quality assurance]] and reporting: Implementing informatics solutions to ensure the quality and accuracy of pathology processes.
