Job Summary

Job Details

Join Cleveland Clinic’s Taussig Cancer Center and become part of one of the most respected healthcare organizations in the world. Known for its continuous clinical trials and cancer research, the Taussig Cancer Center ensures all patients receive top-quality patient care and have access to the newest advances in cancer treatment.   

 

Taussig RN Care Coordinators care for patients as the one point of contact throughout their oncology journey. They provide education to patients and their families regarding their disease, treatment plans, medications, and side effects and utilize their nursing knowledge and critical thinking skills to triage symptoms as they arise, responding to patient phone calls and MyChart messages. This nursing position is truly the best of both worlds as you are still patient-facing, patient-focused and a patient-advocate without the stress and strain of bedside shift work, working weekends or holidays. You can leave work each day knowing the impact of your role during the vulnerable time in our patient’s lives.

  • Identify patients in the specialty care practice that have ongoing coordination needs and conduct targeted outreach.  

  • Conduct comprehensive clinical assessments that include disease-specific, age-specific, medical, behavioral, pharmacy, social and end of life needs of each patient.  

  • Inform and work with patients and their families regarding coordination of their care, provide education and coaching, monitor patient compliance with their care plan, perform reassessments regarding patient progress toward goals, and update plan of care.  

  • Serve as a liaison and advocate for patients and families.  

  • Assist in managing transitions of care across care settings, ensuring optimal communication and planning.  

  • Identify barriers, facilitate solutions, and connect others to community resources.  

Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:  

  • Graduate from an accredited school of professional nursing  

  • Current state licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN) 

  • Three to five years of nursing experience including med/surg, ICU, ED, care coordination or case management experience

  • Basic Life Support (BLS) certification through the American Heart Association (AHA)
