Prototype integration of protein electrophoresis laboratory results in an information warehouse to improve workflow and data analysis.

This poster demonstrates our efforts to enhance workflow and clinical analysis of protein electrophoresis (PEP) data through integration with the Information Warehouse (IW) at The Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC). A new desktop application has been developed with the aim of enabling more efficient and accurate gel analysis by clinical pathologists. This tool gives the pathologists the ability to perform their analysis conveniently from anywhere on the OSUMC network along with the aid of numerical analysis algorithms, image enhancement techniques, and access to historical PEP results for the given patient.
