1. Bringing Oncology Care Home
⌂ Our staff is experienced in providing oncology care, and each discipline is specialty
trained. We share a wealth of oncology experience from which our patients and their
caregivers benefit daily.
⌂ Our Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) keeps our staff informed on state-of-the-art changes
in cancer care delivery and ensures that our practice provides the most current and
advanced home care treatment. The CNS is also available for consultation on complex
patient care needs and pain management.
⌂ Prime has a specialized care management program that includes care based on oncology
clinical practice guidelines and extensive staff training.

For more information or to schedule a meeting to learn more about
our program please call (248) 451-9400 or email onc@phcami.com.
⌂ By focusing on the unique needs of our patients, we are often able to reduce or eliminate
costly hospitalizations and prompt early intervention when problems arise.
⌂ Our close collaboration with physicians’ offices allows for coordinated delivery of care that
can help reduce duplication of services.
⌂ Our procedures and operations for the program are customized for oncology patients and
include the following:
- Oncology nurses in the office triage phone calls and are on call after hours. Patients,
physicians, and physicians’ staff have access to an oncology nurse 24/7.
- Lab tracking focus: Oncology Care realizes the importance of accurate, timely blood
draws so patients can continue or change treatments as necessary; therefore, we have a
special focus on lab management.
- Medication management: Often, oncology patients may have frequent changes in
medication regimes that require careful monitoring. Our staff is trained to monitor those
changes closely, and our systems are set up to allow staff access to regularly updated
patient medication profiles.
⌂ In addition to our oncology home care services, several of our staff members have chosen
to sub-specialize in areas within the oncology home care setting. Some of our sub-specialty
programs include Pain Management, Wound and Ostomy Management, Lymphedema
Management, and a Post-Mastectomy/Breast Surgery Program.
⌂ Collaborative relationships with other community cancer-related organizations and cancer
centers ensure that patients benefit from a variety of appropriate resources (i.e., American
Cancer Society, Oncology Nursing Society, The Wellness Community).
