An Access Delivery Model That Eliminates Barriers to Breast Cancer Care Delivery

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

The purpose of the research is to examine the usefulness of using patient navigators in improving coordination of care between the Breast Examination Center in Harlem (BECH) and the Ralph Lauren Center for Cancer Care and Prevention (RLCCCP) for patients with a suspicious breast finding. This study will collect information to improve the role of the Patient Navigator, nonmedical staff that helps coordinate patient care. The study will also collect information to be used to help remove barriers that happen when several different institutions provide care.
