Conference Dates
Mark your calendars! CHNC 2025 will take place virtually on April 23-24, 2025.
Conference Theme
The fifth annual Canadian Healthcare Navigation Conference (CHNC) will focus on the theme “Impact through implementation: Best practices in developing, establishing, and advancing healthcare navigation programs”. Navigation programs are rapidly expanding across Canada, offering essential support to patients and their families throughout their healthcare journeys. With the growing evidence base for patient navigation, it is essential to identify and address key success factors in implementing these programs, and to overcome barriers that may hinder the uptake of navigation services within the healthcare system.
CHNC 2025 will provide a forum to exchange insights and discuss the implementation of patient navigation services across Canada through the lens of research, practice, education, and administration. Conference presentations may cover a range of topics, such as: innovative collaborations and partnerships between navigation programs and their local communities; lessons learned at any stage of navigation program implementation, co-design efforts and the involvement of lived experience in developing and implementing navigation services, strategies to ensure effectiveness in implementation, and outcomes of implementation initiatives establishing navigation programs in new settings and contexts.
By understanding the impact of implementation efforts, patient navigation has the potential to scale and spread across the healthcare system, aiding patients and families in accessing and transitioning through needed care, and improving health and healthcare outcomes for Canadians.
