The Enterprise Digital System Clinical Lead – Pathology provides clinical informatics leadership for Epic systems supporting laboratory (Beaker – AP/CP) and non-laboratory clinical workflows related to pathology across ambulatory and inpatient settings. This role is responsible for ensuring safe, efficient, and standardized workflows across the full lifecycle of pathology services, including ordering, specimen collection, processing, result management, and downstream clinical workflows, spanning Epic Beaker and integrated Epic modules.

The role includes ownership of highly variable and cross‑setting workflows, including ambulatory, inpatient, procedural, and specialty diagnostic pathways, requiring coordination across clinical care teams, laboratory operations, and external partners. This position is approximately 40% informatics effort, with the remainder dedicated to clinical, academic, or research responsibilities.

• Ensure alignment of Epic solutions with clinical best practices, patient safety standards, and regulatory requirements
• Maintain awareness of Epic capabilities, system updates, and future roadmap

Lead the design, standardization, and continuous improvement of end‑to‑end pathology workflows, including but not limited to:

• Ambulatory (Outpatient) Workflows
• In-clinic point‑of‑care (POC) and lab‑performed testing
• In-clinic specimen collection with:
• Direct send to external laboratories (e.g., Quest, Cologuard)
• Send to MGB laboratory network
• Provider orders for:
• Lab draw encounters (phlebotomy workflows)
• Future collection tied to procedures (OB, IR, OR, cardiology, etc.)
• Home health / remote collection workflows
• Ambulatory result management workflows, including:

• Intra‑procedural and intra‑operative collections, including specimen navigator workflows and pre‑placed orders
• Inpatient result management workflows, including:
• Critical result notification
• Result routing and follow‑up

• Design and optimization of specialized diagnostic and multi‑step workflows, including:
• Bone marrow and hematopathology workflows
• Perinatal and fetal pathology workflows
• Other complex, multi‑stage diagnostic pathways requiring coordination across teams
• Translate clinical, operational, and regulatory needs into clearly defined functional and technical requirements
• Standardize workflows across sites while accommodating necessary clinical variation
• Identify and mitigate safety risks, inefficiencies, and workflow fragmentation
