Provision of care include comprehensive assessment and diagnosis, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, prescription of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies, comprehensive patient education, and psychosocial support of the patient and family experiencing cancer. The APP will interact with outside referring medical institutions for communication of mutual patient care as well as requesting tests and establishing a plan for follow-up care.
Our Care Team model promotes collaborative, team-based care with opportunity to practice independently in caring for post-treatment patients. APPs are encouraged to participate in research and publications, as well as quality improvement projects.
