Patient Navigation in Cancer Care: Guiding patients to quality outcomes™: "Patient navigation trains individuals or “navigators” to help cancer patients get timely access to care and treatment by anticipating and avoiding potential barriers to care:
• Financial
• Communication
• Information
• Transportation
It is a low-tech, highly effective program where cancer patients are provided one-on-one attention that guides and navigates them through a very complex health care system."
We all need patient advocates to help us when we are sick - and any help with navigating the complex healthcare system is always welcome !
