About The Position

The Oncology Nurse Navigator (ONN) serves as a dedicated clinical partner for members navigating a cancer diagnosis. This role provides personalized education, care coordination, and ongoing support throughout the treatment and survivorship journey. The ONN will manage a caseload of members, conduct comprehensive oncology intake assessments, and educate members and families on their diagnosis, treatment options, and available resources using evidence-based guidance. A key aspect of this role is providing fluent, culturally competent oncology navigation support to Spanish-speaking members, conducting clinical calls in both English and Spanish. The ONN will coordinate multidisciplinary care by facilitating communication between members, treating providers, and the broader Lantern Care Coordination (LCC) team. They will also identify and address barriers to care, including psychosocial, financial, and logistical needs, connecting members with appropriate support resources. Accurate and timely documentation within Lantern's care management platform is essential, as are timely outreach, follow-ups, and care coordination tasks. The role involves participating in call auditing processes, collaborating with the Lead ONN, LCSWs, Medical Records Specialists, Care Advocates, and cross-functional partners, and contributing to team meetings and quality improvement initiatives. Adherence to Lantern workflows, clinical protocols, and documentation standards is required.
