Pathology reports are the free-text account of what the pathologist saw, with the diagnosis, grade, margins and receptor results. Vision-language pathology models such as CONCH and TITAN align slide images with report text so that a slide can be searched or described in words; the text carries protected health information, so it is rarely public.","asOf":"2026-09-24","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_health_record","links":[{"label":"Wikipedia","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_health_record"}],"tags":["cansim-terms"],"related":["cancer-ai-vocabulary"],"cancers":[],"sections":[],"technologies":["titan"],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":["hipaa","digital-pathology-wsi"],"trials":[],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":["Listed in the CanSim terms map 1.0.0 (docs/onco/terms.json, generated 2026-09-24), CC BY 4.0, attribution: CanSim project, an open, public-data-first cancer foundation-model programme; CanSim page path /terms/ehr-text."],"provenance":{"editedBy":"OnCo CanSim terms wave (Wikipedia summaries, standards and project pages, GDC and FDA pages, Europe PMC)","editedOn":"2026-09-24","note":"CanSim terms map 1.0.0 (docs/onco/terms.json, generated 2026-09-24), CC BY 4.0, attribution: CanSim project, an open, public-data-first cancer foundation-model programme"},"category":"Clinical"},"route":"/terms/ehr-text-pathology-reports/","neighbours":{"term":[{"id":"cancer-ai-vocabulary","kind":"term","name":"Cancer AI vocabulary (CanSim terms map)","route":"/terms/cancer-ai-vocabulary/"},{"id":"digital-pathology-wsi","kind":"term","name":"Digital pathology and whole-slide images (WSI)","route":"/terms/digital-pathology-wsi/"},{"id":"hipaa","kind":"term","name":"HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)","route":"/terms/hipaa/"},{"id":"rxnorm","kind":"term","name":"RxNorm drug nomenclature","route":"/terms/rxnorm/"}],"technology":[{"id":"titan","kind":"technology","name":"TITAN (whole-slide multimodal model)","route":"/technologies/titan/"}]}}
