Anyone signing out fully remotely?
I keep hearing it is being done but I am yet to really find someone fully remote!

If someone is fully remote, do they get more cases compared to those that stay in lab?
I find a lot of time is spent dealing with questions from clinicians, secretaries and lab techs, I suppose those are part of our job. So if someone is fully remote and only doing cases, are there mechanisms to ensure they take on the same "workload"?
I can see how a "part time remote" might work better, with people rotating to stay in lab.

I'm not sure any of those issues would go away just because someone was signing out remotely. Clinicians will still have questions about your cases. Secretaries will still need to talk to you about pending cases, send outs, etc. And lab techs will still need to converse with you about staining issues, QA, etc. I don't think it really changes those things much at all.
Most of them would go away. Out of sight, out of mind. They just would. It’s like someone rotating out at a satellite hospital for a week. Or someone who works “out there” 2-3 weeks a month. The slides are sent there, they sign them out, and deal with minimum on-site issues because it’s a tiny lab at a small hospital where some surgeons might need a frozen or there might be a ROSE (hardly ever). It’s a cakewalk compared to the job at the larger hospital site. If someone wants to go remote, they should have to throw some $$ back in the pot. It’ll be digital-88305-party-time. Not on my dime. Unless everyone goes remote or there’s an equal split rotation (which there won’t be).

They don't go away and going remote just makes it easier to replace you.
That only works if you're the only remote person and other people are doing the on-site work. If the whole lab goes remote, you're still responsible for just as much as you would be on-site. Either way, clinicians would still call you about your cases. There'd still be plenty of annoying administrative crap specific to you and your work. And I'd definitely pay you less than the people on site.
Digital will be a win for employers of pathologists & pathologists near retirement who want the convenience and to hang on in the work force a few more years
Remote path paid a little less as others have mentioned (win for employer) & the 60 yo path works part time for a few more years in between shuffleboard, yoga, etc (win for older path).
The remote path should still be able to handle normal communications on cases as any other path would. Support staff at home base just pings him/her they respond after they finish pickle ball game…

Digital path will commoditize the field further. Companies are outsourcing digital work to anyone in the country.
