Case Study: Eastern Connecticut Pathology Consultants achieves scalable pathology growth with ELLKAY

ECPC goes live in 45 days with ELLKAY and recaptures $1M+

Eastern Connecticut Pathology Consultants (ECPC), a pathology practice serving southern New England, faced a strategic growth challenge. They needed to diversify beyond a hospital-based model, which required building the infrastructure to scale. Their specific challenges included disrupted hospital system access, critical needs for EMR and LIS connectivity, and the necessity for bi-directional digital pathology workflows. To build a foundation for rapid growth, ECPC partnered with ELLKAY for its interoperability services.

ELLKAY provided the integration backbone, enabling ECPC to connect multiple EHRs and laboratory systems into one unified workflow. This solution allowed ECPC to accelerate deployments, with one LIS and integration going live in under 45 days. The measurable impact included recapturing over $1 million in annual revenue by bringing testing in-house. Furthermore, ELLKAY's infrastructure provided operational resilience, allowing ECPC to maintain continuity during a 45+ day hospital outage and successfully launch scalable digital pathology workflows.
