I am thrilled to serve as Editor-in-Chief for the Journal of Oncology Navigation & Survivorship.
A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to a convenience sample of cancer survivors (N = 237) attending an annual cancer survivors’ day organized by a community cancer center.
With 11.7 million cancer survivors in the United
States, the role of navigation in survivorship is
growing. As our population ages, navigators will
need to focus on the specific needs of the older
and elderly patients they navigate through survivorship
care.
Patient care navigation at the Billings Clinic Cancer Center spans the
continuum of care from outreach efforts targeted at early detection
through survivorship care planning.
Patient navigation and care coordination have been a focus in healthcare for several
years because of the fragmentation that commonly occurs among access,
diagnosis, and treatment.
