The Company

Our client is one of the leading hospitals in Melbourne standing clear of their competition locally in certain specialist areas and as such is an internationally recognised leader in the Health Care sector. Their world-class leading-edge services are the envy of many and make them a highly sort after employer to work for. Providing a vital state-wide service to Victorians, our client is constantly looking to evolve and they are ready to embark on another ambitious project that will this time reshape the way in which their Pathology service is conducted.

The Role

The Shared Pathology Project was initiated in late 2020 as a collaborative effort between two major metropolitan health services to explore and implement a unified pathology service model. This transformative initiative aims to establish a consolidated pathology service, building upon previous investigative work and new insights gathered throughout the project's development. It is aligned with broader systemic reforms in pathology services being led by the Department of Health.

Central to the project's success is the development of a comprehensive operating model encompassing operational and clinical frameworks, quality and safety systems, corporate support structures, and the integration of a shared Laboratory Information System (LIS) and related technology platforms.

The Clinical Applications Manager will be appointed by one of the partnering health services and will act on behalf of the Shared Pathology Project. Reporting to the Digital Program Manager and serving as a key member of the project's leadership team, the Clinical Applications Lead will be primarily responsible for the delivery and implementation of the LIS component. This role will also involve close collaboration with the broader project team to ensure seamless integration of clinical applications across the shared service model.

• Lead the delivery and implementation of the new Laboratory Information System (LIS) for the Shared Pathology Project.
• Ensure effective integration with related systems, including the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Patient Administration System (PAS).
• Provide expert guidance on clinical workflows such as orders, results, and billing processes.
• Coordinate data collection and ensure alignment of system build across multiple sites and systems.
• Support system testing activities, including defect logging, tracking, and resolution.
• Manage and action change requests, updating documentation, configuration, and testing as required.
• Participate in go-live planning and support transition activities to operational use.
• Collaborate closely with clinical, technical, and vendor stakeholders to meet project requirements.
• Mentor and support project team members, sharing knowledge and best practices.
• Identify opportunities for improvement, promote innovation, and complete required professional development.
