Implementation of a peer health navigator program for patients at risk for frequent hospitalisation

Patients who enrol in peer health navigation programmes such as NPW are typically older adults with moderate but not severe health challenges. These individuals may be particularly well positioned to benefit from early, tailored support that can prevent further deterioration. Findings highlight the potential value of peer navigation programmes in engaging at-risk populations before health crises occur.

Abstract

Patients who enrol in peer health navigation programmes such as NPW are typically older adults with moderate but not severe health challenges. These individuals may be particularly well positioned to benefit from early, tailored support that can prevent further deterioration. Findings highlight the potential value of peer navigation programmes in engaging at-risk populations before health crises occur.
