Case Study: Island Dermatology cuts pathology turnaround from one week to 2–3 days with Modernizing Medicine's Healthcare IT Suite (modmed Pathology)

Island Dermatology Decreases Turnaround Time in Their Pathology Process with modmed Pathology

Island Dermatology, a Long Beach, NY dermatology practice with an in‑house lab, struggled with an inefficient pathology workflow: clinicians entered patient data into the EHR, the lab reentered information in a separate system, and reports and charge codes were handled manually, causing delays, duplicate work and occasional attachment errors.

After adopting modmed Pathology—fully integrated with modmed EMA—the pathologist accesses patient records without reentry, reports auto‑attach to charts, and ICD‑10 codes bridge to the practice management system automatically. This eliminated duplicate data entry, reduced errors, sped clinician access to results, and cut turnaround time from about a week to two–three days, delivering faster results to patients.
