Economic evaluation: Impact on costs, time, and productivity of the incorporation of integrative digital pathology (IDP) in the anatomopathological analysis of breast cancer in a national reference public provider in Chile

The incorporation of automated DISH plus IDP in the pathology department of this public provider has resulted in reductions in the time required to perform the in situ hybridization technique, a decrease in total costs, and increased productivity. Particular attention should be given to adopting new technologies to accelerate processing times and workflow.
