Where this comes from

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.
