A patient satisfaction survey was conducted with ambulatory cancer patients to identify areas that they consider priorities for change. Wait times and telephone contact with healthcare providers were the 2 areas of lowest satisfaction. Despite previous interventions to improve wait times, it is consistently the lowest ranked item for patient satisfaction. A subset of patients who were followed by a nurse navigator was more satisfied with wait times than those who were not followed by a nurse navigator.
