Standardized Metrics
The AONN+ Standardized Metrics Task Force collaborated with Oncology Solutions, LLC, to develop the NAVmetrics™ cloud-based IT platform powered by Oncology Solutions’ ONC iQ® business intelligence tool for navigators to utilize for data capture, management, and reporting of navigation metrics. The study aim is to validate the Standardized Evidence-Based Oncology Navigation Metrics.
Dr Edward Partridge explains how the AONN+ standardized navigation metrics align with the Oncology Care Model as well as where the differences lie.
This educational initiative, derived from the 2017 AONN+ West Coast Regional Meeting, is designed to meet the educational needs of hematology/oncology nurse navigators and registered nurses; other healthcare professionals, such as patient navigators and social workers who have a focus on cancer and survivorship, are encouraged to participate.
As the move to value-based care and Alternative Payment Models (APMs) continues, oncology patient navigators must become more business savvy and have a full understanding about value-based cancer care metrics.
These superheroes represent the 8 domains which encompass the AONN+ standardized navigation metrics and should help navigators to better understand the basis behind each domain and the skills necessary to provide quality patient care and financial stability for their organizations.
Ms. Strusowski recently co-authored an article on “Patient Navigation Metrics” for Oncology Issues, the journal of the Association of Community Cancer Centers. In this guest blog post, she explores this topic in the context of value-based care.
Jamie Harness values being able to use the AONN+ standardized metrics to quantify the work done by the navigators in her program.
Tricia Strusowski explains why metrics are so important to the navigation profession.

Danelle Johnston, Vicki Kennedy, and Tricia Strusowski agree that administrators often don't understand what navigators do. They provide information on resources that support the role of the navigator.

Tricia Strusowski and Danelle Johnston agree that, when talking to physicians, it's important to note that the AONN+ standardized metrics align with national standards. They also recommend having multiple elevator pitches tailored to different audiences.
