Hello
We are a multidisciplinary and multi-specialty, cancer, 1206D, hospital based, outpatient clinic.
As we assess the efficiency of our operations, we are searching for models of care that will help us organize the structure of care delivered by nurse navigators, RN's, medical assistants, phlebotomists, social workers, and a surgical tech.
Has anyone tackled the challenge of creating a model of care in a formal structure? We hope to align patient needs with roles of each discipline. We think the type of model is a team nursing approach and are interested in hearing from others the work they have done in this area. Or where we might find resources.
thank you.
