Abstract
With the increasing prevalence of managed care, the short-term and lon g-term outlook for the pathology workforce has changed dramatically fo r the worse. Among the many new opportunities that are available for p athologists, one of the most significant is outcomes management. Outco mes management is a natural evolution for pathologists and requires sk ills that are typically found in well-respected practicing pathologist s. One example of a pathologist-led department of outcomes management is presented.
