Introducing patient navigation electronic log (PaNEL): An innovative platform to facilitate cancer screening and detection.
The underutilization of cancer screening services results in later stage of diagnosis and higher mortality rates. Patient navigation has been recently proposed as a service that potentially could improve cancer screening and reduce cancer care disparities. There are no reports in the current literature describing computerized tools designed to support patient navigation in a community setting. The objective of this project was the development of an innovative computer-mediated patient navigation platform to support cancer screening and follow-up in community settings.
