How Can Healthcare Providers Assist in Meeting Transportation Needs?
Healthcare providers play a critical role in addressing the transportation needs of cancer patients by:
- Conducting Assessments: Evaluating the patient's transportation needs during initial consultations and follow-up visits. - Providing Information: Offering resources and information about available transportation options, including contact details for relevant services. - Coordinating with Services: Working with hospital social workers or patient navigators to arrange transportation. - Financial Assistance: Guiding patients on how to access financial aid or subsidies for transportation costs.
