CULTURAL COMPETENCY CHECKLIST (DRAFT)






Section A: Overview

The purpose of the Patient Navigator Cultural Competency Checklist is to help identify when Patient Navigators (PN) are not meeting standards so that PN Supervisors can help them improve their navigation skills and to measure the influence of PN performance on patient outcomes.

Section B: Administration

This Checklist is to be completed on each PN by the PN Supervisor at their PNP site. To complete this Checklist, the Supervisor will (1) observe the PN during a Navigator-Patient encounter and (2) review the PN’s written/entered documentation of the observed encounter in order to evaluate accuracy and timeliness of documentation.

The Cultural Competency Checklist will be completed on each PN at least two (2) times per year.

Section C: PNDP Patient Navigator Performance Checklist

The Checklist addresses four areas:

  1. Client Interaction

  2. Care Management

  3. Intervention (Patient Navigator)

  4. Documentation

Each area has a description of components (i.e., Quality) of the item with specified related criteria for evaluating performance.

Each of the four areas are scored as follows:

2 = Meets Expectations

1 = Needs Improvement, any single criteria not met

0 = Unacceptable, two or more criteria not met.

Additional space on the checklist is provided for Supervisor comments.

NOTE: The completed Cultural Competency Checklist form will not be submitted to the PNP online database. Only variables and scores (shown in Table X) will be sent to the database.

Section D: Patient Navigator Cultural Competency Checklist Form

The Cultural Competency Checklist form is provided on the following page. PN Supervisors will need to record their assessment either manually or electronically. Supervisors will be instructed by their Project leadership which method to use.
