Color Health is revolutionizing cancer care with the nation’s first Virtual Cancer Clinic, delivering high-quality, physician-led multidisciplinary care across all 50 states. Our innovative, guideline-based approach spans cancer screening, risk assessment, prevention, diagnosis, treatment support, and survivorship. In addition to personalized direct medical care, our services include cancer genetics risk assessment, nutrition, mental health support, and at-home cancer screening diagnostics. Using technology-driven, patient-centric solutions, Color is transforming how employers, unions, health plans, and governments address cancer. Color’s goal is to close critical gaps in cancer care, improve cancer outcomes, and guide patients with empathy through their healthcare journeys.
In June 2023, Color and the American Cancer Society (ACS) introduced a cancer screening and prevention program for employers and labor organizations, combining the ACS’s expertise in cancer screening, prevention, and risk reduction with Color’s leadership in population-scale healthcare delivery. Since announcing our partnership with the American Cancer Society, our program has expanded to support diagnosis management, cancer treatment and care, and survivorship. Through our Virtual Cancer Clinic, Color is helping employees and members diagnose cancer at an earlier, more treatable stage; caring for patients going through their diagnostic journeys with empathy and efficiency; helping cancer survivors navigate return-to-work challenges and complex clinical needs; and closing critical gaps in cancer screening for high-burden cancers.
Cancer patients and survivors spend more time fighting their way through a fragmented healthcare system than they do fighting their disease. If you are passionate about changing that, apply to join Color and do the most meaningful work of your career.
We are seeking a dedicated and experienced Oncology RN to join our Virtual Cancer Clinic care team to support cancer screening and prevention for our patients. This role is essential in providing comprehensive cancer risk management, screening, and prevention remotely for patients. It also increases adherence to cancer screening guidelines and ensures prompt management of patients with abnormal results for quick follow-up and treatment. As one of the Virtual Cancer Clinic’s initial hires, you will play a key role in shaping the design and successful impact of our oncology care management and navigation program.
The ideal candidate will be passionate about oncology, cancer screening, and prevention, skilled in using Telehealth technology, and dedicated to improving outcomes in early cancer detection and prevention. You have a deep understanding of the challenges patients face and the disruptive impact cancer has on their lives, and you are eager to help them address these issues.
How You’ll Contribute:
- Serve as a vital clinical resource for patients we are supporting on cancer prevention, screening, and early detection.
- Actively engage with patients via phone, async messaging, and video communication to address their clinical needs or issues, such as triage and management of high-risk symptoms and abnormal results, care escalations, coordination with patients’ healthcare providers, provider referrals, and planning for in-person care appointments.
- Conduct comprehensive cancer risk assessments and develop cancer screening and prevention plans for review by Color Medical physicians.
- Triage and manage patients reporting symptoms suggestive of cancer and patients with abnormal screening results to make sure they quickly get follow-up workups completed to rule out or confirm a cancer diagnosis, in coordination with their healthcare providers.
- Provide compassionate, empathetic care, establishing close, trust-based relationships with patients, and going above and beyond to help and support patients and motivate them to take actions that reduce their risk of cancer and/or catch cancer early for optimal outcomes.
- Triage symptoms and medical history disclosed during patient contact.
- Collaborate with Care Advocates to address non-clinical support and coordination needs.
- Develop clinical protocols and best practices to coordinate care and provide clinical support for cancer prevention, screening, and high-risk management, in close collaboration with other Color Care Team members (e.g., oncologists, primary care physicians, genetic counselors, and care advocates).
- Participate in care team sessions to monitor member progress, provide updates, and collaborate on targeted support plans.
- Maintain thorough and detailed documentation of encounters with patients.
- Educate patients about cancer risk factors, including screenings and lifestyle modifications based on national guidelines, specialty guidelines, and Color’s clinical protocols.
- Serve as an RN-level escalation point to non-licensed members of the clinical team.
Our Ideal Candidate Will Have:
- Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) required.
- Active and unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) license with eligibility to obtain additional state licenses as needed.
