Question
“What is patient navigation?”
Answer
Patient Navigation is a patient-centered healthcare service delivery model that helps facilitate timely access to care and improve care integration. Patient navigators assist patients, their care partners, and the care team by helping to coordinate patient care; facilitating transitions in care; connecting families with resources; helping families understand the health and social services available to meet their needs; and acting as a resource for the care team.
