Manual de Navegação de Pacientes: Experiência Brasil

The Patient Navigation Manual: Brazilian experience describes the necessary steps and provides the tools to incorporate patient navigation into an organization in Brazil. This manual was inspired by: 1) “Redes En Acción”: National Study of Intervention with Navigation of Patients, from UT Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas, and 2) the Breast Cancer Patient Navigation Program (PNP) in partnership with the Rio de Janeiro State and Municipal Health Secretariat, headed by principal investigator Dr. Sandra Gioia. PNP Rio de Janeiro was financed by the Global Cancer Institute (GCI) and the Avon Institute with support from the National Cancer Institute (INCA), Federal Hospital of Andaraí, Instituto Gnosis and Fundação Renda Rosa.
