ASCP Patient Champions, DPA Partner to Launch a New Patient Educational Resource

ASCP Patient Champions has partnered with the Digital Pathology Association to create an a patient guide to digital pathology. The flyer explains the process and value of digital pathology as well as lays out ways patients can engage with their own pathology.

ASCP Patient Champions brings together individuals who have personally experienced the impact of laboratory medicine and diagnostics. These passionate patient advocates share their stories, raise awareness, and collaborate with healthcare professionals to improve patient care and outcomes.

The Digital Pathology Association (DPA) is a professional organization that facilitates awareness, education, and adoption of digital pathology and AI applications in healthcare and life sciences.

ASCP Patient Champions maintains a library of educational flyers to help patients understand their diagnoses and laboratory results. By teaching them about the laboratory, ASCP Patient Champions empowers patients and caregivers to navigate their care and choose the treatments that work best for them.

“A Patient’s Guide to Digital Pathology” is their newest addition to the flyer library and answers frequently asked questions like “How does AI in pathology impact patient care?” and “Can digital pathology improve my care?”

The flyer is available in via the Educational Resource library on the Patient Champions website.
