The HQWSI program provides the laboratories that are using whole slide imaging for clinical applications to upload images from their scanners to the CAP designated server and get feedback on the different aspects of the image as well as the digital pathology workflow. Participants will receive an evaluation specific to their laboratory whole slide images and a participant summary. An expert panel of digital pathology experts, pathologists, histotechnologists, and histotechnicians will evaluate submitted whole slide images for the quality of scanned images using uniform grading criteria.
