Cancer Navigation Services
This web page contains regional referral forms, contact numbers and when and how to use. The forms are being made available for your EMR, contact your vendor to access.
Primary Care Providers can refer directly to Cancer Patient Navigation services for their patients, for any or all of the following reasons:
- Nurse Navigators link to patients by phone to provide information, education or additional support services, including psychosocial oncology services, during this time of high anxiety and uncertainty.
- Navigators can inform the ordering FP/NP when tests, referrals or results are delayed compared to the recommended timelines in the In Sixty pathways for breast, colorectal and lung cancers. (www.cancercare.mb.ca/diagnosis)
- They DO NOT order tests or make referrals as they do not take over patient care. However, they can help provide guidance on the recommended next steps in diagnosing a patient and information to include in the referral package to CancerCare Manitoba.
