RN Cancer Guides (RNCG) provides professional oncology nursing advocacy to cancer patients and their families. These services are provided using a concierge model. RNCG oncology certified nurse’s meet with the client to determine their specific needs and goals of their cancer diagnosis. These goals range from assistance in seeking a second opinion, comparing treatment to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) standards researching clinical trials, understanding cancer treatments, medications and their side effects. They may need assistance in seeking evidenced based holistic or alternative approaches in their cancer care. RNCG nurses can help in facilitating and coordinating ancillary services. These services include palliative care, hospice, nutrition, physical therapy support, home health, insurance and financial assistance. RNCG supports and facilities the physician/ patient relationship. RNCG nurses attend physician appointments and summarizes the information for other medical team members and the patient. This maintains a smooth continuity of care and minimizes duplicate testing, missed appointments, medication errors and decreased hospital admissions. RNCG nurses also coordinate cancer care for patients that are seasonal residents and need assistance in continuing their out of state cancer treatments. This nursing navigation service provides the patient and their families with clear information in order to make well informed decisions as well as better patient outcomes.
