Implementing Digital Parasitology Workflows in an Academic Medical Center

Implementing digital parasitology involves more than simply replacing the microscope with a digital image. In this webinar, Evann E. Hilt, M(ASCP)CM, PhD, D(ABMM), Medical Director of the Infectious Diseases Diagnostic Laboratory at Fairview and Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota, shares her laboratory’s experience implementing a complete digital O&P workflow. Dr. Hilt discusses why the laboratory considered moving to digital parasitology, how wet mount and permanent trichrome preparations were incorporated into a single workflow, and how the team approached validation of digital imaging and AI-assisted screening. She also shares feedback from technologists, lessons learned during implementation, and opportunities for continued workflow integration, quality monitoring, education, and competency assessment.
