Patient Navigators for Brachial Plexus Birth Injuries

Patient navigators attend visits with health care teams for the administrative aspects of patients' health-related social needs. We describe an innovative patient navigator intervention in an orthopedic clinic focused on brachial plexus birth injury, a diagnosis that disproportionately affects medically underserved and underresourced children, and present policy implications of this intervention.

Abstract

Patient navigators attend visits with health care teams for the administrative aspects of patients' health-related social needs. We describe an innovative patient navigator intervention in an orthopedic clinic focused on brachial plexus birth injury, a diagnosis that disproportionately affects medically underserved and underresourced children, and present policy implications of this intervention.
