Applying Oncology Expertise at Scale Part IV

Carevive exists to improve the lives of cancer patients. But doing that, can’t be accomplished without integrating real-time solutions into cancer centers around the nation. In Part Four of “Applying Oncology Expertise at Scale” host Tyler Kern chats with MSN & RN Reesa Sherin, a Clinical Strategist for Carevive Systems, about the importance of the oncology technology solution.

Sherin said her role, which she has held for the past few years, “help[s] support our new prospective clients with implementing and understanding how it would benefit them in their cancer centers.”

Sherin’s passion for oncology is evident in the nature of her career and she works to remind everyone that some patients can “get lost in the shuffle.” Sherin said, “These patients need the chronic care that they may not get if they’re not ‘elderly’.”

Many patients need support throughout their cancer journey and often, team members are stretched thin and act in a “reactive state” to address patient needs. Sherin is working to change this. She said, “So, I understand both the patient care aspects along with the balance that needs to be done with the bottom line of the center resources…”

Sherin explained, “[We]…let people know that this is something that’s out there, that we can support you and your patients and understanding what’s going on in between scheduled visits so that you can proactively engage with patients as opposed to that kind of reactive state…”
