About
Dr. Chong's goal as a pathology informatician is to serve as a liaison between pathologists, administrators, and technologists (laboratory information systems analysts, data analysts, and researchers) by communicating the pathologists’ needs to the technical experts and the technical solution possibilities to the pathologists and administration. He teaches informatics education to residents and fellows and support clinical research.
His current interests have been in clinical decision support methods to reduce lab test mis-orders by clinicians, in health record interoperability and data standardization by defining, validating, and maintaining LOINC assignments to lab tests, digital pathology workflows, and in defining interface requirements between medical records and pathology slide image systems.
