Department of Pathology Alumni Newsletter, Issue 20

Our department has now essentially completed the Epic Beaker transition from CoPath as of May 31, 2025. The amount of effort from all faculty and staff to make this transition was incredible, and continuing refinement is still being made in the system.

At this time, we would like to recognize Nicholas Ladwig, MD, Associate Professor of Pathology, for his outstanding leadership as Faculty IT Director and AP Beaker Implementation Faculty Provider Champion. In this role, Dr. Ladwig worked at the multidisciplinary level, attending all implementation meetings to test interdepartmental workflows while serving as lead pathologist for numerous multidisciplinary and intradepartmental committees and workgroups, including the Lab Advisory Council, the Executive Steering Committee, the Specimen Collection Workgroups, and the Beaker Testing Leadership Workgroup.
