Registered Nurse:
Ambulatory Care Services (C & W Mott Hospital IPOP Unit)

Michigan Medicine improves the health of patients, populations and communities through excellence in education, patient care, community service, research and technology development, and through leadership activities in Michigan, nationally and internationally. Our mission is guided by our Strategic Principles and has three critical components; patient care, education and research that together enhance our contribution to society.

The IPOP model provides coordinated cell and gene therapy care in an ambulatory setting enabling patients to receive intensive treatment while minimizing inpatient stays. Patients are evaluated and treated during the day by a specialized multidisciplinary team (Physician, APPs, Pharmacist, Nursing). The team ensures administration of therapies, completion of clinical assessments, and coordination of supportive care services. Nursing staff play a critical role in patient education, symptom triage, and ongoing assessment to ensure early identification of complications.

At the end of each treatment day, patients return home or to nearby housing, where they are supported through remote monitoring, structured symptom management, and scheduled clinical follow-up. Nursing staff play a vital role in patient education, symptom triage, and ongoing assessment to ensure early identification and management of complications.

If a patient?s condition worsens after hours, they can present directly to the Oncology Treatment and Evaluation Center (OTEC) for urgent evaluation and supportive oncology care, bypassing the emergency department. For patients requiring a higher level of care, streamlined direct admission pathways are in place. Once stabilized, patients transition back to the IPOP model, ensuring continuity of care while reducing unnecessary inpatient admissions.

The IPOP Registered Nurse is accountable for the delivery of direct patient care, including patient education and the management of patients undergoing cell and gene therapy.
Coordination of hospital admissions from IPOP

The Registered Nurse (RN) supports professional nursing practice across practice settings and across the continuum of care to meet the needs of the patient and family; assesses the needs of the patient undergoing infusion treatment; plans, implements, and evaluates patient care; and teaches patients, families, orients colleagues and peers.

The RN administers cell and gene therapy, IV hydration, blood products, chemotherapy, biotherapy and immunotherapy. They are also responsible for managing the daily needs throughout the patient?s admission to the IPOP unit.
