🚀 Excited to see the launch of CancerX Moonshot's critical resources aimed at reducing financial toxicity in cancer care. Proud that Lightship is a part of this initiative alongside Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) and Moffitt Cancer Center. These tools—the Digital Navigation ROI Calculator and the Digitally Enabled Patient Navigation Blueprint—are essential for ensuring equitable access to care, enhancing patient outcomes, and reducing financial strain on patients. By standardizing and scaling digital patient navigation, we can bridge the gap for underserved communities, reduce disparities, and ultimately save lives. Let's put these tools into action and continue the important work of improving access and care for all. #CancerX #DigitalInnovation #PatientNavigation #HealthcareEquity
🚀 During a public launch event today, CancerX launched the final set of resources from the “Advancing Digital Innovation to Improve Equity and Reduce Financial Toxicity in Cancer Care and Research” project – a Digital Navigation ROI Calculator and a Digitally Enabled Patient Navigation Blueprint. Financial toxicity risk after a #cancer diagnosis is unevenly spread. Certain patient populations face unnecessary barriers in accessing specialized cancer treatment and disparities in clinical outcomes, such as higher mortality rates. Patient navigation programs enhance equal access to care, diminish financial toxicity, and improve #health and quality of life outcomes. However, they are not currently implemented at scale due to resource constraints. CancerX’s new, free resources provide patient navigators with the tools they need to develop a business case and implementation strategy for standardized, scalable, and sustainable patient navigation programming. Put these resources into action today: 💻 Use the Digital Navigation ROI Calculator to demonstrate the ROI your system may accrue after investing in digital patient navigation to boost access and reduce financial toxicity. 📝 Use the Digitally Enabled Patient Navigation Blueprint to ensure your patient navigation programming is standardized, efficient, and reimbursable. It also helps you build the business case for using digital patient navigation that improves access to care and reduces patient financial toxicity. The resources prove the value of investing in digital navigation programming to reduce patient financial toxicity, which impacts consistent appointment attendance, treatment plan adherence, access to necessary medications, and, ultimately, survival outcomes. 📚 Access the resources: https://bit.ly/3FUmiy7 American Cancer Society Biofourmis Blue Note Therapeutics Cancer Support Community City of Hope Current Health Family Reach Folia Health: The Home-Reported Outcomes Company Genomate Health Kaiser Permanente The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Lightship Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Our National Conversation (ONC) Oracle Pluto Health Science 37 Sidekick Health Takeda Digital Ventures Tempus AI Touch, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
