In March 2010, the American Cancer Society hosted the National Patient Navigation Leadership Summit. The Summit organizers invited cancer clinicians, researchers, practicing public health and measurement experts, funders, and patient navigators to develop a national consensus on common outcomes to solidify the scientific evidence and efficacy of patient navigation. The goal of the Summit was to develop and propose core metrics to measure outcomes of navigation on individuals as well as populations across the continuum. It is the sincere hope of the editors, funders, authors, and workgroup members that this supplement and the proposed measures provide a roadmap for the development, implementation,and evaluation of patient navigation programs.
2010 年 3 月，美国癌症协会举办了全国患者导航领袖峰会。峰会组织者邀请癌症临床医生、研究人员、公共卫生实践和测量专家、资助者和患者导航员就共同的结果达成全国共识，以巩固患者导航的科学证据和效果。峰会的目标是制定和提出核心指标，以衡量个体和整个连续体人群的导航结果。编辑、资助者、作者和工作组成员真诚地希望本增刊和拟议的措施为患者导航计划的制定、实施和评估提供路线图。
