PATIENT NAVIGATION & DECISION SUPPORT MANAGEMENT

for patients still in treatment

What is a Patient Navigator?
The healthcare system can be fragmented, uncoordinated, and complex for patients and families. A Patient Navigator can guide patients and families through the healthcare system to understand diagnoses, treatment options, and available resources. By assisting everyday Canadians, particularly through this emotional and vulnerable time, to overcome barriers to healthcare access and bridge gaps and transitions of care, a Patient Navigator can effectively contribute towards efficient, equitable, and patient-centred healthcare. Patient Navigation & Decision Support Management is about helping the patients, their families and care-givers navigate the stormy cancer seas, and help support the best individualized decisions for the patient's care through a more complete understanding of patients needs and objective analysis of healthcare data.
