More Evidence of the Power of Nurse Navigation

December 5th, 2017

Darcy Burbage, Supportive and Palliative Care Nurse Navigator and Oncology Nursing Advocate at Christiana Care Health System, spoke recently at The National Cancer Policy Forum public workshop. Her presentation – which was titled Establishing Effective Patient Navigation Programs in Oncology – examined the optimal conditions and components of successful patient navigation programs.

Among her most compelling points, consider these amazing results from her organization since the implementation of a formal nurse navigator role:

• Provider and patient satisfaction scores of 98% to 100%
• Development of a comprehensive lymphedema program with more than 80% reduction in volumetric measurements and average revenue of $2,500 per 14-visit treatment program
• Decrease in breast biopsy turnaround times from 18 to five days
• Decrease in ED visits from 58.3% to 31.1%
• Decrease in readmissions at 30 days from 31% to 15%
