The Manager is accountable for AP production support, case-based workflow stability, pathology reporting continuity, and user adoption, while coordinating closely with LIS Configuration & Build, Integration, Infrastructure, Middleware, Billing, QA/Compliance, Operations, Medical Leadership, and vendor partners. This role ensures supported LIS solutions are reliable, scalable, compliant, and aligned to enterprise standards, operational priorities, and regulatory expectations.
Key Responsibilities
  • Lead implementation delivery and production support operations for AP LIS applications and workflows.
  • Oversee Application Support (L1/L2) and Implementation (L3/L4) teams, including workload prioritization, resource planning, support coverage, and service performance.
  • Own end-to-end implementation execution, including project planning, workflow readiness, testing coordination, validation support, cutover planning, go-live command center operations, hypercare, and transition to steady-state support.
  • Ensure Level 1 and Level 2 support processes provide timely ticket intake, triage, user communication, incident management, routine issue resolution, and escalation readiness.
  • Coordinate Level 3 and Level 4 escalation pathways with Implementation analysts, LIS Configuration & Build, Integration, Infrastructure, Middleware, vendors, and other technical teams.
  • Partner with LIS Configuration & Build teams to coordinate required configuration components, including rules, test catalogs, provider/clinic setup, workflow configuration, validation evidence, and release readiness.
  • Ensure LIS solutions align to AP workflows including accessioning, grossing, histology, microtomy, IHC/special stains, cytology, molecular/AP ancillary workflows, pathology reporting, case tracking, and digital pathology coordination where applicable.
  • Coordinate integration and dependency management across digital pathology systems, EMR/result delivery platforms, billing systems, label/printer workflows, and downstream reporting tools.
  • Monitor operational performance, issue trends, root cause findings, defect patterns, support backlog, go-live readiness risks, and stabilization outcomes.
  • Drive continuous improvement in support processes, implementation methodology, documentation quality, escalation models, and knowledge management.
  • Collaborate with Operations, QA/Compliance, Billing/RCM, IT Infrastructure, Integration, vendors, and enterprise leadership to resolve issues and ensure successful delivery.
  • Ensure compliance with CLIA, CAP, HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11, internal change control, validation, release management, and documentation expectations.
  • Provide leadership, coaching, performance management, role clarity, capacity planning, and professional development for team members.
  • Communicate status, risks, dependencies, decisions, and operational impacts to IT Laboratory Operations leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

Qualifications
  • 6-10+ years of experience in LIS systems, healthcare IT, clinical applications, or laboratory operations technology.
  • 2-5+ years of leadership, team management, supervisory, or major workstream leadership experience.
  • Strong understanding of Anatomic Pathology (AP) LIS workflows, including accessioning, histology, cytology, pathology reporting, case tracking, IHC/special stains, and digital pathology coordination.
  • Experience leading or supporting medium to large-scale implementations, upgrades, go-live events, command center operations, hypercare, production support, and stabilization activities.
  • Working knowledge of application support models, incident management, problem management, issue escalation, testing, validation, and transition-to-support processes.
  • Knowledge of regulatory and compliance requirements in healthcare or laboratory environments, including CLIA, CAP, HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11, and validation/documentation expectations.
  • Ability to coordinate across technical, operational, vendor, compliance, billing, and leadership stakeholders.
  • Strong communication, prioritization, coaching, analytical thinking, troubleshooting, decision-making, and operational leadership skills.

Core Competencies
  • Execution Leadership
  • Application Support Excellence
  • Implementation Delivery
  • Operational Stability
  • AP Workflow Alignment
  • Incident and Escalation Management
  • Go-Live and Hypercare Leadership
  • Regulatory Compliance
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Team Leadership and Development

KPIs and Success Metrics
  • Successful implementation delivery on time and within agreed scope.
  • Go-live readiness, command center effectiveness, hypercare stabilization, and transition-to-support outcomes.
  • Application uptime, support responsiveness, incident resolution performance, and backlog management.
  • Reduction in production defects, repeat issues, avoidable escalations, and post-release instability.
  • Improved turnaround time (TAT), workflow stability, user satisfaction, and adoption.
  • Quality and completeness of validation evidence, support documentation, issue logs, change records, and knowledge transfer materials.
