This position will work with the clinical nurse manager and other ambulatory oncology nurse navigators to develop standard metrics, identify patient barriers, coordinate smooth transitions of care, and to be available for team members in gathering data for new patients that will allow the team to create a plan of care at the patient's first visit and, through the work up phase of their disease.

Using the nursing process, an ONN provides education and resources to facilitate informed decision-making and timely access to quality health and psychosocial care as they approach their first visit. This individual will serve as the primary point of contact for all navigated patients within the disease specialties they cover and will thoroughly hand off care (verbally and in EMR documentation) to providers and nurses assuming care of the patient after the first consult.

The ONN interfaces with research staff, and works to identify patients who may be suitable candidates for clinical trials.
