The Ambulatory Registered Nurse (RN) is a vital member of the surgical team in the outpatient clinical setting, working alongside surgeons, residents, Nurse Practitioners/Physician Assistants (NPs/PAs), and other healthcare professionals to deliver high-quality patient care. The RN plays a key role in the preoperative and postoperative management of adult surgical patients within the Hepatobiliary practice.

The RN’s responsibilities include but are not limited to preoperative and postoperative patient evaluation and education along with reinforcement of the disease process and care management recommendations, coordination of multidisciplinary care including collaboration with other departments such as GI, Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology. Patient communications occur both face-to-face and via phone and portal messaging. The RN also interacts extensively with the in basket and electronic health record system to manage orders, create surgical listings, and coordinate with other specialties involved in patient care as directed by the physician.

The RN role is key to the overall facilitation of patient management as directed by the surgeon and to ensure seamless patient care coordination.
