abstract: 'Background: Patient navigation programs have been launched nationwide in
|
|
|
|
an attempt to reduce racial/ethnic and socio-demographic disparities in
|
|
|
|
cancer care, but few have evaluated outcomes in the prostate cancer
|
|
|
|
setting. The National Cancer Institute-funded Chicago Patient Navigation
|
|
|
|
Research Program (C-PNRP) aims to implement and evaluate the efficacy of
|
|
|
|
a patient navigation intervention for predominantly low-income minority
|
|
|
|
patients with an abnormal prostate cancer screening test at a Veterans
|
|
|
|
Affairs (VA) hospital in Chicago.
|
|
|
|
Methods/Design: From 2006 through 2010, C-PNRP implemented a
|
|
|
|
quasi-experimental intervention whereby trained social worker and lay
|
|
|
|
health navigators worked with veterans with an abnormal prostate screen
|
|
|
|
to proactively identify and resolve personal and systems barriers to
|
|
|
|
care. Men were enrolled at a VA urology clinic and were selected to
|
|
|
|
receive navigated versus usual care based on clinic day. Patient
|
|
|
|
navigators performed activities to facilitate timely follow-up such as
|
|
|
|
appointment reminders, transportation coordination, cancer education,
|
|
|
|
scheduling assistance, and social support as needed. Primary outcome
|
|
|
|
measures included time (days) from abnormal screening to diagnosis and
|
|
|
|
time from diagnosis to treatment initiation. Secondary outcomes included
|
|
|
|
psychosocial and demographic predictors of non-compliance and patient
|
|
|
|
satisfaction. Dates of screening, follow-up visits, and treatment were
|
|
|
|
obtained through chart audit, and questionnaires were administered at
|
|
|
|
baseline, after diagnosis, and after treatment initiation. At the VA,
|
|
|
|
546 patients were enrolled in the study (245 in the navigated arm, 245
|
|
|
|
in the records-based control arm, and 56 in a subsample of surveyed
|
|
|
|
control subjects).
|
|
|
|
Discussion: Given increasing concerns about balancing better health
|
|
|
|
outcomes with lower costs, careful examination of interventions aimed at
|
|
|
|
reducing healthcare disparities attain critical importance. While
|
|
|
|
analysis of the C-PNRP data is underway, the design of this patient
|
|
|
|
navigation intervention will inform other patient navigation programs
|
|
|
|
addressing strategies to improve prostate cancer outcomes among
|
|
|
|
vulnerable populations.'
