Sub-specialization in Anatomic Pathology Drives Consolidation and Quality

First few Article Sentences

Progress in modern medicine is driven by specialization. Serious illness is invariably referred to a specialist or a team of specialists who have the depth of knowledge to offer precise and accurate treatment and diagnosis. Unlike many other medical specialties, anatomic pathology is partner-focused, in that diagnoses are not delivered directly to the patient but to the referring provider. As medicine in general becomes more specialized, the demand for sub-specialized pathology diagnostics grows.

CellNetix is a highly sub-specialized 44 physician and employee-owned partnership that emerged from four Washington groups that had been servicing their hospitals, physicians and communities for over 40 years. No venture capital was involved in startup of CellNetix, just some concerned doctors who saw where pathology was headed and felt they could better advance patient care and their chosen profession as a combined and larger entity.
