The Oncology Patient Navigation Program (OPNP) is operated by the South West Regional Cancer Program (SWRCP) and supports patients with navigation through the cancer system from pre-diagnosis through treatment, and, if necessary, the initial palliative care phase.
OPNP was launched in 2010-2011 with a mission to:
- Provide a high standard of care to all suspected cancer patients, in a fair and equitable manner;
- Ensure limited delays to patient care, at the right time, to the correct service;
- Ensure seamless transition to most appropriate care provider;
- Partner with regional hospitals to limit diagnostic delays.
OPNP is available for patients in Ontario’s southwest region and can be accessed by physician or nurse practitioner referral. The program is a fully virtual department where patients and staff connect through phone calls.
