About the role

The Alfred/Monash Shared Pathology Project (the project) was established in late 2020 as a joint initiative between Monash Health and Alfred Health to explore options for a shared pathology service model. 

The Project aims to deliver a shared Alfred/Monash Pathology service. It will consider the benefits and risks of this venture considering previous explorative work carried by the two health services as well as information gathered throughout the project development. The project will run in conjunction with broader pathology system reform being undertaken by the Department of Health. Underpinning this project is the establishment of an operating model for the shared service, including operational and clinical frameworks, quality and safety systems, corporate support services and a shared laboratory information system and various technology components

The Business Analyst will be an Alfred Health appointment and report to the Implementation Lead, Monash/Alfred Shared Pathology Project. The position will work in close collaboration with the Alfred/Monash Shared Pathology Project team

This is a priority project for Alfred Health and Monash Health, which relies on the delivery of other digital transformation projects beyond the LIS to be successful.
