This book was released on 2018-04-10 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses how effective navigation requires a team approach to oncology care and should never be considered an “add-on” resource or service. The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN) is the only national professional organization for navigation professionals, and has more than 6,000 members, 90% of which are oncology nurse navigators. They are the experts on creating team-based programs, which remove the risk of others trying to reinvent the wheel by designing a navigation program from scratch. They also understand the role of effective navigation across the entire continuum of care, and understand and are able to apply other key aspects of navigation, including clinical trial screenings and tumor board coordination and monitoring, as well as measurement using evidence-based navigation metrics, to name but a few.It is the only book designed to educate and support anyone developing a new navigation program, or wanting to improve one they have created.As such it offers a guide for cancer centers needing to develop and implement an oncology navigation program; understand and successfully meet and exceed the Commission on Cancer accreditation standards linked to navigation; expand or improve their current navigation program as well as demonstrate its value using reliable measurable results, including patient satisfaction and improved- quality clinical outcomes. This comprehensive book also provides insights into applying the information presented to the real world of oncology care.

This book was released on 2018-08-13 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delivering high-quality cancer care to all patients presents numerous challenges, including difficulties with care coordination and access. Patient navigation is a community-based service delivery intervention designed to promote access to timely diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other chronic diseases by eliminating barriers to care, and has often been proposed and implemented to address these challenges. However, unresolved questions include where patient navigation programs should be deployed, and which patients should be prioritized to receive navigation services when resources are limited. To address these issues and facilitate discussion on how to improve navigation services for patients with cancer, the National Cancer Policy Forum of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop on November 13 and 14, 2017. At this workshop, a broad range of experts and stakeholders, including clinicians, navigators, researchers, and patients, explored which patients need navigation and who should serve as navigators, and the benefits of navigation and current gaps in the evidence base.

Download or read book Indigenous Public Health written by Linda Burhansstipanov and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2022-09-27 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Income, education, job security, food and housing, and gender and race are all examples of the social determinants of health. These factors influence the health and well-being of patients, as well as how they interact with health care providers and receive health care, and unfortunately, certain biases can become a barrier to maintaining good health in some communities. Indigenous groups in North America and US-associated Pacific jurisdictions have been subjected to occupation and forced relocation, mandated boarding schools, and other attempts by state and federal governments to eliminate their cultural strengths and resources. Indigenous Public Health illustrates how successful community engagement strategies, programs, and resources within Indigenous communities have resulted in diverse, successful public health programs, and helped community members overcome barriers to health. Editors Linda Burhansstipanov and Kathryn L. Braun explore the problems that impact engagement efforts, discuss public health topics, acknowledge and honor the strengths of different communities, and emphasize that collaboration and the sharing of resources can only improve lives.

Purpose: This quality improvement project aims to integrate the Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN) guidelines, tracking metrics, and physician feedback about patient-needed resources to implement an ONN care model to expand current cancer patient care processes. Methods: Physicians were surveyed for needed patient resources, knowledge about the ONN role, and satisfaction with ONN care outcomes. Creation of an ONN care model and role definition of the ONN were defined for facility needs and improvement. Physician post-surveys and qualitative data were gathered. Aggregated data was gained through anonymous surveys. Results: Post-survey results indicated that improvements were needed to expand the ONN role. Qualitative data suggests that using an ONN care model and metric tracking would benefit patient care and the multidisciplinary team. Discussion: Defining and implementing an ONN care model and role and responsibility program increased the multidisciplinary awareness and resources of current evidence-based practices. Conclusions: Incorporating, a defined structured process for ONN cancer patient navigation can expand the role of the ONN, increase multidisciplinary team involvement, and provide holistic patient care.
