Initiatives

The AONN+ CATCH Initiative is a reporting system to track navigators’ interventions with positive outcomes to further highlight navigation value and efficiency. A “Catch” is considered a navigation win where the navigator caught an issue and intervened to correct it, benefiting the patient and providing the best practice outcome. Navigators utilize these skills in everyday practice, and AONN+ will now shine a light on the effect navigation has on patient care and outcomes.

The mission of the AONN+ BRIDGE Program is to use educational interventions to best connect oncology nurse and patient navigators to cancer genetics/genomics professionals, ensuring that patients have access to the most current emerging technologies that may directly impact the level of care received, as well as quality of life.

This all-encompassing platform boasts a mentorship matching program for mentees and mentors to support and educate one another, AONN+ professional development opportunities for all members, and a digital library that houses educational tools and resources for all things professional development.

The objective of the CAPE Initiative is to create a web-based library of best-practice information that providers can give to their patients and caregivers at each point of interaction.
