BACKGROUND
The Rossy Cancer Network (RCN) – a partnership of McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine, along with the McGill University Health Centre, the Jewish General Hospital, and St-Mary’s Hospital Center – supports projects that improve the patient experience in oncology.
Over the past three years, the RCN piloted a project which collected Patient Report Outcome measures (PROMs) electronically through an application called DART. The project led to better symptom management, collaborative care planning and improved patient experience across the cancer journey. At the present time, our team is developing a sustainability model to incorporate PROMs into routine clinical care.
We are currently seeking a Project Coordinator to provide general project coordination as well as education and training of health care providers (HCPs). This position will report to the RCN Project Manager and the “Patient Reported Outcomes” Project Leads.
