Keep your synoptics. Change your LIS.
CoPath is going away, but your CAP-compliant synoptic reporting does not have to
​
The CoPath Synoptic Reporting Transition Playbook shows pathology, lab, and IT leaders how to protect structured reporting, preserve discrete data, and reduce transition risk as they plan their next LIS move
What You’ll Learn
If your organization relies on CoPath synoptic templates, the LIS transition is not just an IT project
​
It is a clinical, operational, and compliance issue that can affect reporting continuity, cancer registry data, and long term comparability
​
Inside the playbook, you’ll find practical guidance on:
​
-
What is at risk when synoptic reporting moves out of CoPath and into a new LIS environment
-
Common failure modes including lost structured fields, templates that do not carry over, and gaps in downstream reporting
-
What good looks like in a new LIS including structured data capture, CAP template support, and discrete export capabilities
-
Workflow considerations for pathology, lab, IT, and registry stakeholders during planning, migration, testing, and go live
-
The key decisions that most affect synoptic integrity plus checkpoints to help avoid avoidable disruption
Why It Matters
A successful LIS transition should not force you to rebuild synoptic reporting from scratch The goal is to keep and enhance the reporting workflows you already depend on while protecting compliance, quality, and research grade discrete data.
This playbook helps teams evaluate options with clarity before they commit to a migration path
It gives leaders a practical framework for asking better questions, spotting risk early, and aligning clinical and technical stakeholders around a safer transition plan.

For teams that want to go deeper, the next step is a Synoptic Risk Assessment to map current templates, dependencies, and transition risks against your LIS plans
