Abstract
With the increasing prevalence of managed care, the short-term and long-term outlook for the pathology workforce has changed dramatically for the worse. Among the many new opportunities that are available for pathologists, one of the most significant is outcomes management. Outcomes management is a natural evolution for pathologists and requires skills that are typically found in well-respected practicing pathologists. One example of a pathologist-led department of outcomes management is presented.
