    • Helps patients move through the complex the healthcare system – getting them more timely treatment and more information about treatment options.
    • Serves as a person for the patient to lean on for advice, support and direction. A navigator is someone who understands the patient's fears and hopes, and who removes barriers to effective care by coordinating services, increasing a cancer patient's chances for survival and quality of life.

    • Facilitate change by providing a supportive environment, information or other resources; this makes Navigators an ideal source of assistance for motivating others to make health related behavior changes.
    • Serves as a contact person for patients, their families and staff to coordinate communication, scheduling, patient information and other activities of care between patients and multidisciplinary providers.
    • Works closely with coordination teams to better schedule patients to the appropriate service with a focus on patient convenience and timeliness of service.
