ENCOMPASS: Expansion Study C
Enhancing Community Health Through Patient Navigation, Advocacy and Social Support (ENCOMPASS): Expansion Study C, A Randomized Controlled Trial With Waitlist Control
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 23 May 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Some patients living with multiple long-term health conditions have difficulty accessing the services they need, despite available primary care and community resources. Patient navigation programs may help those with complex health conditions to improve their care and outcomes. Community health navigators (CHNs) are community members who help guide patients through the health care system. CHNs are not health professionals like a doctor or nurse, but they are specially trained to help patients get the most out of their health care and connect them to resources. The ENCOMPASS program of research evaluates a patient navigation program that connects patients living with long-term health conditions to CHNs. To understand if the CHN program can be scaled to a provincial level, the ENCOMPASS program of research is expanding to select primary care settings across Alberta. This study implements and evaluates the CHN program at WestView Primary Care Network in the Greater Edmonton area, Alberta, Canada.
