CoPath

CoPath, a crusty 'ol turd Cerner sells to pathology departments worldwide.

I find it hard to believe people buy this software... but they bought it at some of the teaching hospitals. So, I have little choice about using it. Frightening is that there is something worse... Softpath.

[According to this site http://apiii.upmc.edu/breakout/archive/1996/apiii1996/author/slides/gross/index.htm] it was developed in part at the U of Pitt.
