000043437 520__ $$aIn 2020 alone, there were 1,603,844 new cancer cases reported in the United States, with 602,347 resulting in death (Cancer Data and Statistics, 2023). Currently, at the Knight Cancer Institute (KCI), patients encounter multiple entry points, including referrals from surgical specialists, primary care providers, or external sources. This results in differing intake workflows for each type of malignancy, and some patients cannot use the established patient navigation system. Research indicates that poor care coordination is associated with medical errors, inadequate symptom management, and increased healthcare utilization and costs (Weaver and Jacobson, 2018). This project seeks to assess the necessary changes for a comprehensive system designed to streamline processes, facilitate early referrals, and enhance patient-centered navigation. Without such improvements, there is a risk that OHSU (Oregon Health Science University) patients with cancer may not receive the full range of services to optimize their treatment.
