PathoSys® updated to include new Renal Dataset

AES Medical has updated its PathoSys® cancer reporting software to include the Royal College of Pathologists amended Adult Renal Parenchymal Cancer Dataset. 

AES Medical is obliged through its licence agreement with the Royal College of Pathologists to keep PathoSys® up to date with latest Cancer Datasets. This rapid turnaround for the Renal dataset demonstrates our commitment to this process and the benefits it brings. 

The new amended dataset published in November 2006 supersedes the 1st edition published in 2001. The new dataset is due for review November 2009. 

The new Adult Renal Parenchymal Cancer Dataset along with the others published by the Royal College of Pathologists is available for download on the Royal College of Pathologists website.

PathoSys® 4 Goes Live

The first Live cases have been entered into PathoSys® 4, the new clinical decision support system for histopathology. The system has been designed and built to cater for the modern-day pressures facing the NHS to assist them to record information quicker and more efficiently thereby helping reduce turnaround time.

PathoSys® 4 is now available to access on any web browser, putting the user firmly in charge of their own working practices and provides opportunities for working from home, hot-desking and real-time collaboration during MDT meetings. Switching to a web-based application has also allowed for further configuration, so we are able to create a bespoke system that meets the needs and demands of your pathology service.

Incorporating the latest Royal College of Pathologists datasets, the system provides standardised reporting and structured data capture, facilitating rapid real-time audit and the export of data to authorised third parties. Many of our Trusts are using PathoSys® 4 as their main COSD solution, the system is capable of exporting their COSD data at no additional time or cost required.

AES Healthcare Solutions COSD Compliant

All AES healthcare solutions are COSD compliant. Trusts that currently use any AES healthcare solutions will be able to send COSD data at no additional cost or time required to implement a separate COSD solution. This demonstrates our ongoing commitment to assist our customers to achieve continuing benefits from their investments in AES healthcare solutions.

What is COSD?

The Cancer Outcomes and Services Dataset (COSD) is a compiled dataset which provides the standard for secondary uses information required to support the implementation and monitoring of Improving Outcomes: a Strategy for Cancer (IOSC).

This standard consists of:

  • A set of individual data items, with their definitions.
  • The assemblage of these data items into collection areas.
  • The means of flowing the data items.
  • Compilation of the data items into a single reconciled and verified dataset.

The COSD has replaced the former National Cancer Dataset (NCDS) and the former Cancer Registration Dataset.

All patients diagnosed with or receiving cancer treatment in or funded by the NHS in England are covered by the standard.

Providers of cancer services are required to provide a monthly return on all cancer patients diagnosed using this dataset.
