调查英国病理学界，以确定临床和学术组织病理学部门当前数字病理学的使用水平，以及对数字病理学的普遍态度。使用 SurveyMonkey 在线调查工具向英国各地的国家卫生服务部门和学术病理学部门分发了一项包含 15 项的调查。在部门或机构层面寻求回应。在可能的情况下，我们会联系部门负责人并要求其完成调查，或将其转发给部门中最相关的个人。数据收集于 2017 年 2 月至 7 月的 6 个月内。来自英国各地的 41 家机构对这项调查做出了回应。 60% (23/39) 的机构可以使用数字病理扫描仪，60% (24/40) 可以使用数字病理工作站。当前数字病理学最流行的应用是本科生和研究生的教学、研究和质量保证。 58.5% 的机构将调查其部门中数字病理学的部署视为高度或最高优先事项，受访者预计其机构内的效率、周转时间、报告时间和协作将得到改善。获得初始硬件、软件和人员支出的资金、病理学家培训以及皇家病理学家学院的指导被认为是可以使受访机构增加数字病理学使用的因素。英国对采用数字病理学的兴趣很高，未来几年使用量可能会增加。有鉴于此，病理学家正在寻求更多有关安全使用的指导。
To canvass the UK pathology community to ascertain current levels of digital pathology usage in clinical and academic histopathology departments, and prevalent attitudes to digital pathology. A 15-item survey was circulated to National Health Service and academic pathology departments across the UK using the SurveyMonkey online survey tool. Responses were sought at a departmental or institutional level. Where possible, departmental heads were approached and asked to complete the survey, or forward it to the most relevant individual in their department. Data were collected over a 6-month period from February to July 2017. 41 institutes from across the UK responded to the survey. 60% (23/39) of institutions had access to a digital pathology scanner, and 60% (24/40) had access to a digital pathology workstation. The most popular applications of digital pathology in current use were undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, research and quality assurance. Investigating the deployment of digital pathology in their department was identified as a high or highest priority by 58.5% of institutions, with improvements in efficiency, turnaround times, reporting times and collaboration in their institution anticipated by the respondents. Access to funding for initial hardware, software and staff outlay, pathologist training and guidance from the Royal College of Pathologists were identified as factors that could enable respondent institutions to increase their digital pathology usage. Interest in digital pathology adoption in the UK is high, with usage likely to increase in the coming years. In light of this, pathologists are seeking more guidance on safe usage.
