The typical case mix includes solid tumors such as lung, colon, and breast cancers, as well as hematologic malignancies like lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), while acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and stem cell transplant services are not managed onsite.
The Hematologist Oncologist role is split approximately 60% hematology and 40% oncology. Responsibilities also include supervision of infusion services. There is no requirement for inpatient rounding, and the position is not supported by advanced practice providers (APPs). The electronic medical record (EMR) system used is Epic (Beacon).
