What Clinicians Are Saying about 4R

The Care Sequence is a quick reference of everyone on their care team , and a quick checklist of what’s to come, and what the next appointment will be.

Liliana Mendoza, BSN, RN

Nurse Clinical Coordinator, Breast Surgical Oncology, Rush University and Medical Center

My patients really like being able to see something in writing that’s formalized. And that’s easy to read. I like having something formalized for my interactions with patients so I cover everything.

Marti Hennings, RN, OCN

Oncology Nurse Navigator, Permanente Medicine

It’s good for patients to have an overview of all the steps they need to take, in order for us to come up with the best treatment plan for them.

Kevin Prescott, MD

Hematology Oncology Fellow, University of Illinois in Chicago Hospital Health Sciences System and Jesse Brown VA Medical Center

I’m using Care Sequences because it’s improving the quality of care I’m delivering to patients, it’s improving my ability to communicate with patients, and patients are more satisfied with complex care coordination.

Raymond Liu, MD

Medical Director, Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Cancer Center, Director of Research, Hematology-Oncology Service Line

The systematic nature of it makes me feel like a better oncologist because I know that I’m delivering certain information that I find super important.

Sheetal M. Kircher, MD

Medical Oncologist, Gastrointestinal Malignancies, Northwestern Medicine

The Care Sequence is very easy to understand for our patients.  I love the contact information and resources.

Jenny Woodyard, RRT/CPFT

Lung Health Navigator, Southern Ohio Medical Center

The Care Sequence gives each patient a lot of power and it’s more organized than before.

Amanda Medina, RN

HCC Hepatology Nurse, Ochsner Health

The Care Sequence also helps the patient visualize, not just memorize, but visualize what was said and what is being done.

Patricia Ramirez, RN

Oncology Nurse Navigator, OSF Little Company of Mary

Patients like having this tool (The Care Sequence and Contacts) as a guide…it gives patients a little bit more knowledge to help manage their care.

Carol Palmer, RN

Transplant Coordinator, Pre-Liver, Ochsner Health

It provides a roadmap while focusing on what needs to be done in the next week or two.
