ABSTRACT

The aim of the research is to determine Telepathology related to Bridging the Gap in Remote Healthcare Services. Digitalizing pathology slides promotes collaboration among pathologists in various places and allows for second opinions and real-time consultations. This helps to enhance patient outcomes and speed up the diagnosis procedure. The smooth exchange of information throughout the healthcare system is ensured by integrating telepathology with electronic health records, which expedites communication. For measuring, the research used smart PLS software and generated results, including descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients and smart PLS Algorithm models between them. Beyond diagnosis, telepathology has a significant influence on medical education and training. It provides a forum for ongoing professional growth, especially when qualified pathologists are scarce. Additionally, telepathology is a potent tool for democratizing access to pathology services due to its low cost and capacity to reach underserved and rural places. This research acknowledges the potential advantages of telepathology but also discusses data security, standardization, and technological uptake issues. Overall result found that telepathology significantly related to bridging the gap in remote healthcare services. Telepathology is a scalable and affordable approach with great potential to improve global healthcare outcomes as technology progresses.
