Summary
Patient navigation significantly improves breast cancer (BC) screening for African Americans (AA). Including network effects in cost-effectiveness analysis reveals a more precise and comprehensive assessment of interventions for underserved communities.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Services Research
- Health Economics
Background:
- Breast cancer (BC) disproportionately affects African Americans (AA).
- Patient navigation is a key strategy to reduce healthcare barriers for AA.
- Assessing the full impact of interventions requires considering social networks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To estimate the added value of patient navigation for BC screening among AA.
- To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of patient navigation, including participant and network effects.
Main Methods:
- Comparative cost-effectiveness analysis across two scenarios.
- Scenario 1: Navigation effects on AA participants only.
- Scenario 2: Navigation effects on AA participants and their social networks.
Main Results:
- Including only participant effects (Scenario 1), the cost-effectiveness was $3845 per additional mammogram.
- Including participant and network effects (Scenario 2), the cost-effectiveness decreased to $1098 per additional mammogram.
Conclusions:
- Network effects significantly enhance the cost-effectiveness of patient navigation interventions.
- Incorporating social network impacts provides a more accurate assessment for underserved populations.
- Patient navigation is a cost-effective strategy for increasing BC screening among AA.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.

The two sources for collecting information are primary and secondary. After gathering information, interpretation and validation help to complete the data. The purpose of assessment is to establish data with the initial information, to interpret data about the patient's perceived needs and health problems, and to respond to these problems identified.
The nurse collects all aspects of the patient's health in the initial assessment, establishing priorities for ongoing focused assessments...

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
