Healthcare administrator specializing in oncology operations and patient navigation.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated healthcare administrator with extensive experience in oncology operations and patient navigation. Currently, I work as a Data Abstractor at Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Center, where I utilize CRStar and FCDS to extract and collect data on cancer cases, ensuring accuracy and compliance with reporting requirements. My background in managing patient navigation has equipped me with the skills to break down barriers to care, facilitating timely communication between patients and their healthcare providers.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my administrative and operational skills. As an Admissions Specialist at Monte Nido & Affiliates, I managed a caseload of clients seeking various levels of care, guiding them through the admissions process. My role as an Administrative Assistant III at Miami Cancer Institute involved supporting the Director of Operations and coordinating interdepartmental meetings to improve performance metrics. I have a proven track record of enhancing workflows and patient care through effective communication and collaboration.
