- description
- For the duration of the intervention, patients will have access to patient navigation as per usual care. The intensity and frequency of navigation is dependent on the treating clinic; the provider of navigation (whether nurse vs social worker) is also variable by clinic. This includes: coordination of care including assistance with scheduling follow-up visits, labs, imaging, and procedures, help with filling out forms for insurance, FMLA or disability benefits, facilitating communication with treating providers, referral to community and patient support groups, providing patients with educational materials and resources, check-ins on well-being and any cancer- or treatment-related concerns
