Characteristics of Existing Online Patient Navigation Interventions: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient navigation interventions (PNIs) can provide personalized support and promote appropriate coordination or continuation of health and social care services. Online PNIs have demonstrated excellent potential for improving patient knowledge, transition readiness, self-efficacy, and use of services. However, the characteristics (ie, intervention type, mode of delivery, duration, frequency, outcomes and outcome measures, underlying theories or mechanisms of change of the intervention, and impact) of existing online PNIs to support the health and social needs of individuals with illness remain unclear.

Objective

This scoping review of the existing literature aims to identify the characteristics of existing online PNIs reported in the literature.
