Under the direction of the Lung Nodule Program Manager, the Lung Nodule Program Nurse Navigator serves as a critical safety net within the health system to ensure that patients with lung nodules are not lost to follow-up and that care decisions are made in a timely and coordinated manner. Working behind the scenes, the Nurse Navigator facilitates communication among providers, advances the decision-making process, and supports timely diagnostic and treatment interventions.

The role collaborates closely with Lung Nodule Program Advanced Practice Providers and Pulmonologists to initiate and coordinate appropriate diagnostic testing, and directly contacts patients identified with a lung nodule who do not have an established provider to ensure they receive clear communication about recommended next steps. The Nurse Navigator manages complex AI-enabled dashboards that track a high volume of patients, reads and interprets imaging scans and reports, and applies evidence-based care pathways in alignment with NCCN, Fleishner, or Lung Rad guidelines.

The position serves as an advocate for the patient, providing education and information related to testing and decision making that may be needed to move the patient through the continuum of care.
