Act as liaison with physicist and supportive care personnel.

## Boundary Of Firm

**Automatability**: assisted
**Routing Summary**:
- The relationship and clinical-judgment core is kept in-house: a radiation therapist or oncology nurse navigator carries information between the medical physicist's dosimetry plan and the supportive-care team (palliative, nutrition, social work).
- Messaging, treatment-plan status sharing, and care-conference scheduling run on an oncology information system, but a clinician drives every exchange because the interpretation of dose plans and patient needs is regulated clinical work.
- No part of this coordination is outsourced; it is embedded in the cancer center's own care team.
