Patient Navigation in Cancer Care
Tool Kit
The Patient Navigation in Cancer Care multimedia tool
kit was:
– Designed to be an essential tool for health care
organizations to use in the development of patient
navigation programs
– Developed as a cooperative effort between Pfizer Inc
and the Healthcare Association of New York State
(HANYS)
• In consultation with Dr. Harold P. Freeman

What Is Patient Navigation?
Patient navigation:
– Supports patients in need of assistance with
one-on-one contact
– Ensures that all patients with suspicious findings
receive a resolution to those findings
– Utilizes a patient navigator who moves patients
through the health care system
– Works within the organization and through external
services to eliminate barriers to health care

Goals of a Patient Navigation Program
The main goals of patient navigation are:
– To save lives from cancer
– To eliminate barriers to care
– To ensure timely delivery of services
11
Freeman HP. Oncol Issues. 2004;5:44-46.
TM
TM
Potential Barriers to
Receiving Timely Health Care
Barriers interfere with appropriate and timely care
– Delays of 3 to 6 months in initiating breast cancer treatment
were associated with lower survival rates
– Strong connection found between African American race and
delay in breast cancer screening and treatment
Patient navigation originally targeted the poor who:
– Endure greater pain and suffering than other Americans
– Feel cancer education and outreach efforts are irrelevant to
them
Elderly experience discrimination
– Health care professionals may have limited training in geriatrics
– Less likely to receive preventive care or screening

Patient Navigation’s Guiding Principles
Ensure that quality, confidentiality, and professionalism
are threaded throughout all aspects of care and
programming. Inherent in patient navigation is continuous
quality care for patients from screening through diagnosis
and treatment, based on the following tenets:
– Culturally competent care
– Confidentiality
– Respect
– Compassion
– Patient safety

Suitable for Many Health Care Settings
The navigation program:
– Is adaptable to different settings and needs
– Encourages compassion toward persons who are
being served
– Defines at what point a navigator is engaged and
what a navigator does
– Respects the confidentiality of the patients involved
– Is reliable so that patients and navigators in the
program can trust the information and help received
– Evaluates the effectiveness of the program
17
TM
TM
Responsibilities of a Navigator
Meet with patients at point of suspicious finding
Identify any barriers or potential barriers to care
Streamline appointments and paperwork
Maintain open communication with health care providers,
caregivers, and patients
Assist in increasing access to culturally appropriate,
supportive care when and where possible
Link patients, caregivers, and families with appropriate
follow-up services
Maintain personal contact with patients throughout the
health care continuum and follow their progress

Characteristics of a Navigator
Preferably selected from the community of patients
being served
Compassionate with a sincere desire to help people
Understands the issues of financial, cultural, educational,
and social barriers to information and care in the patient
community

solutions
Is highly resourceful and able to research resources
for patients

Where Should Navigation
Be Implemented?
Organizations providing care within the cancer continuum
– Hospitals
– Clinics
– Screening centers
– Community not-for-profits
– Oncology and radiology offices
Organizations with an underserved population
Organizations wishing to provide a premier cancer care
center delivery model
21
TM
TM
Making a Patient Navigation Program Work
Organizational buy-in and support
Dedicated resources
Supportive leadership
An established alliance between the navigator and highly
connected, key decision makers in the organization,
especially those involved in financial decisions
A patient navigator dedicated to expediting patient access
and improving continuity and coordination of care

– Determine resources that are lacking
– Track success of interventions
– Assure that the intended audience is being served
Choice and complexity of evaluation measurements:
– Should be determined based on the resources available
– Will vary from program to program
