Brief Summary:
To reduce Cancer health care disparities that exists among minority Medicare beneficiaries and to demonstrate cost effectiveness of patient navigation in reducing the burden of cancer
Detailed Description:
The Latino population is the fastest growing minority population in the United States Cancer ranks as the second leading cause of death among Latinos in the United States 24 second only to heart disease This project will evaluate whether an innovative facilitation program targeting cancers of the prostate colonrectum breast and cervix will improve cancer outcomes among Latino Medicare beneficiaries in the city of Newark New Jersey
The overall aim of this project is to institute an innovative cancer care facilitation program for elderly Latinos in the city of Newark NJ The goal is to reduce the disparities observed in screening time to diagnosis and treatment services by utilizing a multidisciplinary team approach to health care incorporating systems thinking methodology Using the Multilevel Approach to Community Health MATCH planning model the program will incorporate community outreach education and access to screening and patient assistance in all aspects of the health care continuum It will also include cultural and linguistic competency training for all those involved in the facilitation process To accomplish this goal we propose four objectives
1 To establish a multidisciplinary team that will utilize a systems thinking approach to design and structure the delivery of cancer screening diagnosis and treatment facilitation services
2 To build a collaborative consortium between program partners to improve screening outcomes that will encourage the utilization of services in the community
3 To improve the delivery of cancer prevention and treatment facilitation by providing cultural and linguistic competency training to the multidisciplinary team providers and the community
4 To demonstrate the effectiveness of the intervention in reducing the burden of cancer by increasing screening rates improving time to diagnosis and delivery of treatment services patient satisfaction and appropriate use of Medicare services
