Here's a fascinating article from Andrew Evans: Making the Transition to Digital Pathology.
The article discusses how the University Health Netwrk in Toronto went about adopting digital pathology for remote frozen section analysis, the challenges they faced, and the results and benefits. It also mentions their plans for expanding their use of digital pathology in other areas, such as after-hours remote diagnosis of organ transplant biopsies to determine if rejection is taking place.
