Client Profile

At Wellstar, people are at the center of everything we do and every decision we make. As a not-for-profit organization, we have made a generational commitment to transform healthcare for all. We work to ensure every person has access to personalized care that helps them spend more time being a person, rather than a patient. That’s what we mean when we say we’re more than healthcare–we’re PeopleCare.

Wellstar is nationally recognized for our inclusive culture, exceptional doctors and team members, and personal, high-quality care. We thoughtfully reinvest in prevention, wellness programs and charity care, and provide access to compassionate, world-class care through our expansive system of 11 hospitals, 329 medical office locations, 11 cancer centers, 91 rehabilitation centers, 35 imaging centers, 20 urgent care locations, five health parks, three hospice facilities and two retirement villages.

Project Description

To analyze and improve the system Pathology process at our Wellstar locations. The scope of this work would start with the order for pathology, the collection of the specimen, the handoff / transport of the specimen to a Pathology Lab at Wellstar (which we don't have at all locations), the processing of the Pathology specimen within the Pathology Lab, and the communication of the results of the Pathology study to the Ordering provider and patient (if necessary). The goal would be to look for opportunities to improve the process and better utilize our Epic software to support and manage the process. Additionally, the goal would be to standardize the process across Wellstar, as it varies from site to site.
