Why PDI

PDI's Value to Laboratory Operations

Performance & Diagnostics Insights (PDI) is designed to provide data-driven guidance and support measurable operational improvements. By standardizing performance tracking and visualization, laboratories can enhance efficiency, maintain quality, and drive continuous improvement.

With PDI, laboratories gain the ability to:

  • Improve turnaround times across departments
  • Proactively monitor quality indicators
  • Assess and manage staff workload distribution
  • Establish a data-driven foundation for process improvement initiatives
  • Support compliance with accreditation and reporting standards

What Makes PDI Different?

PDI is uniquely positioned and differs from other solutions because it offers:

Trusted Data Security icon

Trusted Data Security

ASCP is dedicated to advancing pathology and laboratory medicine, which fosters trust among users, ensuring that data handling, security, and integrity align with the highest industry standards. Because PDI is not industry supported, it reinforces ASCP’s commitment to serving the medical community without commercial bias.

Real-Time Benchmarking Capability icon

Real-Time Benchmarking Capability

One of PDI’s core advantages is its ability to offer near real-time benchmarking, enabling users to compare performance metrics instantly. This feature enhances decision-making and operational efficiency, providing laboratories with up-to-date insights into their performance. Other platforms may have benchmarking capabilities, but do not necessarily provide near real-time analytics in the same manner as PDI.

Superior Test Utilization Reports icon

Superior Test Utilization Reports

PDI delivers high-quality, customizable test utilization reports, uniquely enhanced by ASCP’s Effective Test Utilization Recommendations. This ensures that laboratories receive guidance rooted in industry best practices, optimizing resource allocation and improving diagnostic accuracy. This advantage sets PDI apart from competitors by aligning laboratory testing strategies with evidence-based standards.

Specialized Dashboards for Cytopathology & Surgical Pathology icon

Specialized Dashboards for Cytopathology & Surgical Pathology

PDI has dedicated dashboards for Cytopathology and Surgical Pathology, which cater specifically to Anatomic Pathology (AP) operations. These dashboards provide niche solutions for academic institutions and research teams, supporting biomarker testing advancements and helping mitigate unnecessary patient treatments. This specialized functionality makes PDI particularly valuable for pathology departments focused on innovation and research.
