通过一个成功的美国北部和南部平原印第安人患者导航项目的范例，确定患者导航在减少医疗保健差距中的作用。来自本地导航员和癌症连续研究的出版文献和数据。土著病人导航员成功地与当地的美洲印第安人组织合作，通过一系列24小时的讲习班提供癌症教育。这些讲习班提高了社区对癌症的认识，影响了癌症筛查行为，并提高了导航员提供导航员服务的可见度和可用性。要帮助那些存在医疗保健差距的人，需要多种战略。与扎根于社区并受到社区信任的患者导航员合作，有助于弥合患者和提供者之间的差距，提高对护理建议的依从性，并改善生活质量和生存。
To identify the role of patient navigation in decreasing healthcare disparities through an exemplar of a successful patient navigation program for American Indian populations living in the Northern and Southern Plains of the US. Published literature and data from the Native Navigators and the Cancer Continuum study. Native Patient Navigators successfully collaborated with local American Indian organizations to provide cancer education through a series of 24-hour workshops. These workshops increased community knowledge about cancer, influenced cancer screening behaviors and increased the visibility and availability of the navigators to provide navigation services. Reaching those with healthcare disparities requires multiple strategies. Collaborating with patient navigators who are embedded within and trusted by their communities helps to bridge the gap between patients and providers, increases adherence to care recommendations and improves quality of life and survival.
