Ten grants have been awarded to eligible entities for the development and operation of demonstration programs to provide patient navigator services to improve health care outcomes. The Patient Navigator Outreach and Chronic Disease Prevention Demonstration Program assesses whether local initiatives can reduce the burden of cancer and other chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, asthma and others by reducing the barriers related to accessing high quality health care services. This evaluation consists of two parts of data collection: 1) collection of qualitative information from staff associated with the Patient Navigation Demonstration Program; and 2) quantitative data related to the demographics and care of all patientss entering PNDP, as well as patient navigators.
