Resource RN, Digestive health Center
About The Position
The OHSU Digestive Health Center (DHC) is a multi-disciplinary center offering services in the ambulatory setting for specialty surgical services, gastroenterology, hepatology, bariatrics and nutrition. The programs work in a close team that includes MD, RN, MA, and schedulers that work together to provide excellent quality care for complex patients. The patient experience with the program begins with their initial appointment and can include clinic visits, procedures, surgery, and follow-up care. The RN Patient Care Coordinator (RN) will provide care coordination, assessment and triage, medication management and clinical support to the teams in the ambulatory setting. The nurse will perform medical record review, follow developed protocols, determine appropriate patient scheduling, assist with monitoring diagnostic results and patient care progress/processes as requested by providers, and participate in quality reviews. The nurse will work alongside a team of RN care coordinators within the DHC. The OHSU registered nurse (RN) provides compassionate, evidence-based, and efficient care to individuals, families, communities and patient populations. The RN’s care delivery is consistent with the Oregon Nurse Practice Act, the ANA Scope and Standards of Practice, and the ANA Code of Ethics and meets the standards/expectations of a Professional Practice Model. In that model, the RN demonstrates the professional role obligations of scientist, leader, practitioner, and knowledge transferor. Professional accountability enriches the RN’s engagement as a leader in promoting an inter-professional culture of collaborative decision-making, innovation, life-long learning, and teamwork. The patient care coordinator role depends heavily on the RN Role Components of Scientist, Leader, Practitioner and Knowledge Transferor as defined by the OHSU RN Role Description; however, the position requires advanced critical thinking within the Leader Component to meet the goals of the clinic. Candidate must be detail-oriented and able to work well with electronic health record.
