Share On Social!

Check out this Spanish version of A Patient Navigation Manual to guide health organizations in developing patient navigation services.

Get it Spanish or English.

The manual first defines patient navigation. Patient navigators are trained health workers who aim to help “navigate” people through the often-complex healthcare system and remove barriers to timely, quality cancer care.

It then offers a six-step guide to determine whether navigation is right for a health organization, and highlights important considerations for implementing navigation.

The manual also features many robust tools, customizable templates, and other resources for starting up navigation.

“We are excited to offer, for free, this guide in both English and Spanish to help health providers and groups integrate patient navigation into their scope of services,” said Dr. Amelie G. Ramirez of the Institute for Health Promotion Research at The UT Health Science Center at San Antonio.. “We have found that patient navigation is a valuable strategy.”
