Darcy Burbage, Oncology Clinical Nurse Specialist, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“At the parallel session on patient navigation using peer navigators at MASCC25 Jackie Bender discussed the impact of navigation on higher adherence, patient satisfaction and QoL as demonstrated in the US and the high level of unmet supportive care needs especially in marginalzed populations
Key takeaways to increase implementation:
- Multiple models needed
- IT infrastructure essential
- Training of individuals interested in becoming a peer navigator
- ALL individuals with cancer should have access to navigation.”
