- Document all escalations and pathologist, ordering physician feedback within the case record and maintain audit traceability
- Map diagnoses to the appropriate IHC reflex markers and molecular test bundles using the OncoTree matrix
- Coordinate accurate entry structured diagnostic data into NeoGenomics databases and laboratory information systems
- Utilize NIS/LIS, and related databases for data entry, validation, and QC tracking
- Collaborate with Client Services, IHC Lab, Molecular Operations, and Reporting teams to resolve discrepancies
- Support continuous improvement of data flow automation and documentation processes
- Train and mentor other/new team members in abstraction, coding, and database entry
- Attain full proficiency in diagnostic abstraction, data entry, and mapping within two (2) months
- Maintain accuracy in diagnostic data abstraction and IHC/molecular mapping
- Ensure documentation of case escalations and QC outcomes
- Support continuous improvement initiatives for turnaround time and data traceability
