Pathology and Telepathology Methods in the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance Network

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
This manuscript describes the Child Health and Mortality
                Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network approach to pathologic
                evaluation of minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS)
                specimens, including guidelines for histopathologic examination
                and further diagnostics with special stains,
                immunohistochemistry, and molecular testing, as performed at the
                CHAMPS Central Pathology Laboratory (CPL) at the Centers for
                Disease Control and Prevention, as well as techniques for
                virtual discussion of these cases (telepathology) with CHAMPS
                surveillance locations. Based on review of MITS from the early
                phase of CHAMPS, the CPL has developed standardized
                histopathology-based algorithms for achieving diagnoses from
                MITS and telepathology procedures in conjunction with the CHAMPS
                sites, with the use of whole slide scanners and digital image
                archives, for maximizing concurrence and knowledge sharing
                between site and CPL pathologists. These algorithms and
                procedures, along with lessons learned from initial
                implementation of these approaches, guide pathologists at the
                CPL and CHAMPS sites through standardized diagnostics of MITS
                cases, and allow for productive, real-time case discussions and
                consultations.
