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.

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.

• 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.
