An Internetbased Transplant Pathology Consortium

1
An Internet-based Transplant Pathology Consortium
It will provide an effective conduit and
repository for information exchange about the
management of individual patients and for
collation of standardized data from multi-center
studies in outcomes-based research.
Its feasibility can be shown using a working
model of the Telepathology and Offsite Training,
Quality Assurance and Coordination of Pathology
Data for Clinical Trials components of the
planned transplantation pathology consortium.
