Addressing transition care coordination challenges for cancer patients – ASCO
American Society of Clinical Oncology posted the following on LinkedIn:
“Transitions between healthcare settings represent some of the most vulnerable periods for patients, particularly those with cancer. These transitions increase the complexity of care coordination, with the period following hospital discharge being especially high risk.
At the Mount Sinai Health System, staff identified a gap in care coordination for patients actively undergoing cancer-directed treatment. This led to the establishment of the oncology coordinator (OC) role, nonclinical patient navigators functioning as a single point of contact for disease-based teams managing elective admissions and supporting discharge coordination.
For ASCO Daily News, a team of doctors and staffers from the Mount Sinai Health System describes the impact of the OC on care coordination, how the OC program was implemented, and several areas for future growth.”
