DermEngine Integration for Pathology Results

This page explains how to set-up the DermSync software to sync pathology results from the lab to DermEngine.

On DermEngine, images and lesions can be added to each patient and a pathology request can be sent to the lab.  Once the result is ready, it can be imported back into DermEngine.
