AONN+ Standardized Metrics
Have you considered implementing metrics to demonstrate just how impactful your navigation program is?
In recognition of the 5th anniversary of the AONN+ Metrics, we present a review of the metrics designed to measure the impact of navigation on clinical outcomes.
AONN+ Metrics specific to patient experience can help you to measure the success of your navigation program.
Collecting metrics may seem like an intimidating endeavor, but navigators report once you start, it's hard to stop!
Got a Toolkit? The AONN+ Navigation Metrics Toolkit is making it easier for navigators to implement metrics.

The essential guide to leveraging the value of navigation. Is your institution receiving the ultimate benefits of a navigation program?
The culmination of a mission to create standardized metrics by which navigation programs can demonstrate outcomes and value, the AONN+ Navigation Metrics Toolkit provides guidance for putting the metrics into practice.
Several years ago, the Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) unveiled 35 evidence-based oncology navigation metrics developed in response to a void in the literature measuring the programmatic success of navigation programs.
Danelle Johnston, MSN, RN, HON-ONN-CG, OCN, and Tricia Strusowski, RN, MS, recapped their recent presentation from the ACCC 46th Annual Meeting & Cancer Center Business Summit, in which they discussed the National Evidence-Based Oncology Navigation Metrics: Multisite Exploratory Study to Demonstrate Value and Sustainability of Navigation Programs. The study was launched in June 2018 as a collaborative effort between the Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+), Chartis Oncology Solutions, and the American Cancer Society (ACS).
