The role of patient navigation is still undefined, wide open, and somewhat unrestricted.  Nevertheless, patient navigators have a unique role in patient care. Patient navigators can be used to build working relationships, solve problems and support patients while they learn to self-navigate the healthcare system. Most navigators are currently used in assisting cancer patients or long chronic illnesses, but they may or may not have medical training.  What do you think about this?  How do you feel patient navigators can be successfully embedded into a medical practice, especially in assisting with patients who have chronic disease?
