Routinely uses acquired knowledge, theory, research and experience to respond to changes in clinical situations.The Oncology Nurse Navigator (ONN) is a disease group specific expert who meets the individual supportive care needs of patients by making proactive and recurring risk-based touchpoints to identify and eliminate barriers to care from the point of the new patient visit (NPV) through completion of active treatment. Additionally, the ONN supports a coordinated transition into survivorship and/or end of life care. The ONN reinforces treatment plans with patients and caregivers by providing education related to planned and potential care pathways, reinforcing pre/post-op teaching, chemotherapy and immunotherapy teaching, and radiation therapy teaching, on an as needed basis. The ONN may support at home symptom management with referral back to the primary medical team for escalation to the appropriate level of care.Additionally, the ONN collaborates with the multi-disciplinary team to ensure timely completion of care during care transitions, supports patients with difficult decision making for genetic testing, participates in tumor board conferences, and collaborates with the testing center staff to identify patients interested in research studies. Where the ONN is referred for services that are out of the scope of nursing navigation, the ONN provides a more appropriate professional referral and then oversees throughput on that recommendation to ensure needed support is provided in a timely manner. The ONN actively evaluates current navigation practice and seeks opportunity to engage in quality improvement efforts to advance both individual practice and the navigation program at large in alignment with evidence-based studies to improve the overall patient experience and clinical outcomes.Minimum Qualifications:Bachelors degree in Nursing required and Graduate of an accredited school of nursing.Preferred experience: 3 years within oncology, with at least 1 year in assigned disease group.The employee is expected to exercise independent judgment and critical thinking in managing patient care and navigating complex healthcare systems.The ONN will work independently under the general direction of their leader, utilizing their expertise to make informed decisions about patient education, care coordination, and barrier identification.
