The lack of comparable metrics to evaluate prevention and early detection patient navigation programs impedes our ability to identify best practices. The Prevention and Early Detection Workgroup of the Patient Navigation Leadership Summit was charged with making recommendations for common metrics specific to the prevention and early detection phase of the cancer care continuum. The workgroup began with a review of existing literature to characterize variability in published navigation metrics; then through discussion and group consensus developed a list of priority recommendations. Clearly document key program characteristics; Use a set of core data elements to form the basis of your reported metrics; and Prioritize data collection using methods with the least amount of bias Recommendations for researchers and program evaluators include: If navigation programs explicitly state the context of their evaluation and choose from among the core set of data elements, meaningful comparisons among existing programs should be feasible.
