An Innovative Nurse Navigator Approach to Screen For and Address Social Needs in a Veterans Health Administration Women’s Health Clinic
Findings show early insights into women Veterans' unique social needs. An innovative nurse navigator approach to social screening in a VHA women's health clinic was feasible, had high likelihood of sustainment, and improved nurses' ability to care for their patients. This indicates strong potential for expanding nurse navigator roles both within and outside VHA.
