    2. Assist patients in understanding medical terminology;
    3. Utilize effective communication skills, including active listening.
  • Ensure continuity of care throughout the entire cancer experience, from pre-diagnosis to survivorship, palliative/hospice care, and end-of-life considerations.
  • Develop and recommend educational resources for patients regarding their diagnosis and disease for tumor-site populations.
  • Identify implications and availability of resources at local, regional, and national levels to support a comprehensive and reasonable continuum of care.
  • Assist in coordinating, implementing, evaluating, and modifying the overall care plan through an interdisciplinary and collaborative team process to ensure timely and comprehensive service coordination.
  • Facilitate communication among providers and physician practices to build strong relationships.
  • Engage in Oncology-specific committees.
  • Evaluate patient ability to navigate the healthcare system and identify potential barriers (e.g., continuity, coordination of care, and communication with the healthcare team).
  • Guide patients through the healthcare system, including appropriate referrals to social work, dietitians, and insurance advocates.
  • Manage orders, ensuring patients receive appropriate referrals to surgeons, genetic counselors, radiation oncology, medical oncology, chemotherapy, imaging, labs, etc.
