RN-Care Coordinator Foregut
About The Position
The Patient Care Coordinator (RN) will provide care coordination, assessment and triage, medication management and clinical support to the foregut surgeons in the ambulatory / clinic setting. Foregut surgery is a specialized field where the team nurse gets to know many of the patients closely and plays a key role in patient education and support. The practice requires management of both benign and malignant expertise. The nurse will become familiar over time with the various treatment options and ongoing complex care. The nurse will also 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 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, EPIC experience.
