Developing a Provincial Cancer Patient Navigation Program Utilizing a Quality Improvement Approach. Part Three: Evaluation and Outcomes.
Article in Canadian oncology nursing journal = Revue canadienne de nursing oncologique, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
In 2012, the provincial cancer agency in Alberta initiated a provincial quality improvement (QI) project to develop, implement, and evaluate a provincial Cancer Patient Navigation (CPN) program spanning 15 sites across over 600,000 square kilometres. This project was selected for two years of funding (April 2012-March 2014) by the Alberta Cancer Foundation (ACF) through an Enhanced Care Grant process (ACF, 2015). A series of articles has been created to capture the essence of this quality improvement (QI) project, the processes that were undertaken, the standards developed, the education framework that guided the orientation of new navigator staff, and the outcomes that were measured. The first article in this series focused on establishing the knowledge base that guided the development of this provincial navigation program and described the methodology undertaken to implement the program across 15 rural and isolated urban cancer care delivery sites. The second article delved into the education framework that was developed to guide the competency development and orientation process for the registered nurses who were hired into cancer patient navigator roles and how this framework evolved to support navigators from novices to experts. This third and final article explores the evaluation approach used and outcomes achieved through this QI project, culminating with a discussion section, which highlights key learnings, and subsequent steps that have been taken to broaden the scope and impact of the provincial navigation program.
