In this paper, we highlight the different steps in this process towards digital diagnostics, which was at times a rocky road with definitely issues in implementation, but eventually an exciting new way to practice pathology in a more modern and efficient way where patient safety has clearly gone up.}, issn = {0021-9746}, URL = {https://jcp.bmj.com/content/74/7/415}, eprint = {https://jcp.bmj.com/content/74/7/415.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Clinical Pathology} }
