Patient engagement in the development and implementation of navigation services: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Patient navigation, a complex health intervention meant to address widespread fragmentation across the healthcare landscape, has been widely adopted internationally. This rapid uptake in patient navigation has led to a broadening of the service's reach to include those of different social positions and different health conditions. Despite the popularity and prevalence of patient navigation programmes, the extent of patient involvement and/or partnership in their construction has yet to be articulated. This scoping review will explore and describe the extent to which patients have been engaged in the development and/or implementation of patient navigation programmes to date.

Methods and analysis

This scoping review will adhere to the Arksey and O'Malley framework
