TUCSON, Ariz. -- Sunquest Information Systems, Inc., a market leader in laboratory information systems, today announced the general availability of its Sunquest CoPathPlus v4.0 anatomic pathology software. The new version integrates with Sunquest's award-winning Laboratory Information System and includes numerous new features and technology enhancements designed to automate processes and increase workflow efficiency for pathology departments at hospitals and laboratories. Sunquest CoPathPlus v4.0 also supports a powerful, add-on module that integrates with the mTuitive xPert for Pathology Software for structured data capture and synoptic reporting.

"Our upgrade to 4.0 was one of the shortest and smoothest upgrades we've ever had," said Jan Esakov, LIS Manager for Nationwide Children's Hospital. "The new enhancements will not only benefit our users, but those of us who support the system also by streamlining the processes that were totally manual in previous versions."

"Now that Sunquest CoPathPlus is fully developed, supported, and maintained by Sunquest, many of our customers are upgrading to the new 4.0 version. Its customer-driven feature enhancements and tight integration with our LIS enable powerful automation and workflow efficiencies that benefit their organizations," said Debbie Tillman, anatomic pathology product manager at Sunquest Information Systems, Inc.
