JOB TITLE: Clinician Navigator - Breast Center
LOCATION: Various, Primary location at RGH Medical Office Building
HOURS PER WEEK: 40
SCHEDULE: Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm
OUR Department:
At Rochester Regional Health, we know how quickly a breast cancer diagnosis can change someone's life and the lives of those they love, and that coping with the disease is often one of a person's most difficult life experiences. We also know the power behind a strong support system, the strength of the human spirit, and the ever-evolving possibilities of modern medicine. We know because our world-class team experiences it every day -- taking this pervasive disease head-on, treating patients, and securing hope.
SUMMARY
As a Clinician Navigator, your experience and understanding of chronic illness is key in advocating for patients and providing them with the best healthcare treatment resources and optimal clinical outcomes.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Serves as face and voice of the Center by providing community outreach and education regarding the program, and responding to calls concerning the program.
Coordinates and navigates the patient experience throughout the healthcare continuum.

Forms a collaborative practice among the care management team (i.e. surgeons, nurses, social workers, etc.).
Performs direct patient care, nursing documentation, participation in therapy, symptom management, patient and family education, and counseling throughout diagnosis, therapy and follow-up.
Serves as the patient's first line of communication throughout the entire treatment program and beyond, affording continuous patient care and early recognition of patient emergencies and regular emotional support.
Works closely with the physician during patient visits, to become aware of the treatment plan, expected outcomes, and possible treatment complications - which allows the Clinical Navigator to independently assess the patient's general physical and emotional status.
