This document provides an overview of the Aperio LIS Connectivity solution, showing how it helps to integrate your Laboratory Information System (LIS) with Aperio eSlide Manager, a digital slide management system. We discuss the features of Aperio LIS Connectivity, the benefits it provides, and how it optimizes the efficiency of your user workflow. IT Managers may find this document helpful in explaining how Aperio LIS Connectivity fits into their network environment, and how it connects the LIS and Aperio eSlide Manager to provide an integrated solution. About This Guide ` This chapter...

Figure 1: Overview of the Integration System Above is a simple representation of what the integration looks like. Aperio LIS Connectivity offers bi-directional messaging between the LIS and Aperio eSlide Manager. Aperio LIS Connectivity is responsible for handling message transformations between the systems. In other words, Aperio LIS Connectivity accepts information from the LIS through HL7 2.x messages, internally transforms that using Leica-Aperio eSlide Manager specifications, and transmits the data to Aperio eSlide Manager to save in its database. Conversely, when physical slides are...

Figure 3: Aperio LIS Connectivity Solution Benefit Additional Features Other benefits of Aperio LIS Connectivity include: ` To avoid unauthorized access, users accessing the system are authenticated and authorized through Aperio eSlide Manager credentials while accessing the digital slide viewer. ` Information exchange between systems is encrypted so that there is no misuse of patient information while information is being transfered between Aperio eSlide Manager and the LIS. ` Aperio LIS Connectivity installations are automated with minimal configuration, which saves time and enables a...

Workflows This section shows different workflows supported by Aperio LIS Connectivity. Order First Scan Next Workflow Figure 5: Order First Scan Next Workflow The Order First Scan Next Workflow initiates the scan order request from the LIS. The data from the order gets saved in Aperio eSlide Manager as Case, Specimen, Cassette/Block, and/or Slide in the Clinical hierarchy; as Project, Specimen, Cassette/Block and/or Slide in the Research hierarchy; and as Course, Lesson, Specimen, Cassette/Block and/or Slide in the Educational hierarchy for orders. The scan response only triggers if the...

project, course, lesson, specimen, cassette/block or slide record is married up to scanned image by way of the decoded slide barcode. 4. Viewing (URL) links are now available for case, project, course, lesson, specimen, cassette/block or slide level and are sent from the Aperio eSlide Manager interface to the LIS. 5. If the Viewing link is available in the LIS the user selects the link which will open in the web browser (Chrome or Internet Explorer) the Aperio eSlide Manager login screen and subsequently the Slide image(s). With the slide images now viewable the Pathologist/User reviews the...

1. LIS user enters slide order into the LIS. Using the LIS or equivalent system the user prints labeling information to the slide including the slide identifier barcode. 2. Aperio Scanner decodes barcode and captures image. (All Aperio scanners can be represented in this workflow) Slide image is stored in the Aperio eSlide Manager image location. 3. A parent Slide record is created from the barcode ID for the captured slide image. A slide level response message with optional slide level URL can be sent to the LIS. 4. The LIS processes the slide level response message and subsequently sends...

Detailed Design Figure 8: Detailed System Design The detailed design diagram above illustrates the components of Aperio LIS Connectivity, the mode of communication between the components, and the standard ports they use for transporting information. NextGen Connect is a cross-platform interface engine that validates, accepts and relays portable messages between Sync Hub and the LIS. All communications marked with green arrows are secure using TLS v1.2. All communications marked with orange arrows are configurable for cybersecurity. If the LIS vendor’s LIS is not SSL compatible, we recommend...
