Metrics for evaluating patient navigation during cancer diagnosis and treatment

Racial and ethnic minorities as well as other vulnerable populations experience disparate cancer‐related health outcomes. Patient navigation is an emerging health care delivery innovation that offers promise in improving quality of cancer care delivery to these patients who experience unique health‐access barriers. Metrics are needed to evaluate whether patient navigation can improve quality of care delivery, health outcomes, and overall value in health care during diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
