Artificial intelligence-based triage of large bowel biopsies can improve workflow.

Background: Large bowel biopsies are one of the commonest types of biopsy specimen. We describe a service evaluation study to test the feasibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) to triage large bowel biopsies from a reporting backlog and prioritize those that require more urgent reporting.

Methods: The pathway was developed in the UK by National Health Service (NHS) laboratory staff working in a medium-sized general hospital.
