Program Overview

The Eleventh Annual Navigation & Survivorship Conference was a Live-Streamed virtual meeting held on November 4-8, 2020, and certified for up to 21.0 contact hours of CE credit. This program was a live, virtual conference held over 4 days (2 full days and 2 half-days) plus enduring materials for which content will be developed, assessed, and delivered to a large audience in order to extend the educational impact beyond the initial live program.

To further extend the educational reach of the live meeting, the sessions will be hosted as individual enduring webinars for one year. 

Target Audience

This educational initiative is intended for hematology/oncology nurse navigators, patient navigators, and social workers whose focus is on cancer care and survivorship. It will also be useful for nurse practitioners, oncology nurses, advanced practice nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in managing patients with cancer.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of the AONN+ 2020 Annual Virtual Conference, participants should be able to:

    • Discuss navigating telehealth in the era of COVID-19, and defining what the oncology care model will look like post-COVID-19
    • Assess strategies for navigating diverse patient populations by cancer type and environmental and socioeconomic factors
    • Define methods for providing patient support and guidance
    • Evaluate best practices regarding survivorship, nutritional support and psychosocial care
    • Incorporate information regarding various navigation models and best practices to advance the role of navigators throughout the entire continuum of cancer care, to achieve improved quality of care
    • Implement AONN standardized navigation metrics and define how navigation provides added value in cancer care
