Patient navigation programs are designed to promote access to timely cancer diagnosis and care by addressing barriers to cancer care, such as challenges with health literacy, language barriers affecting comprehension of diagnosis and treatment, lack of transportation, or insufficient insurance coverage. At the workshop, a broad range of experts—including clinicians, navigators, researchers, and patients—provided an overview of patient navigation, explored current models of patient navigation programs, identified lessons learned from implementation of patient navigation programs, and explored policy challenges and opportunities to improve patient navigation for patients with cancer.
