Partnering With Antenatal Navigators to Transform Health in Pregnancy

PATH navigation is an antenatal patient navigator program designed to reduce barriers to care, enhance access, improve self-efficacy and knowledge, and improve multiple perinatal health outcomes. PATH navigation is a flexible, multi-pronged, patient-centered program with the capacity to evolve with patient needs and preferences. Early in pregnancy, navigators will establish themselves as a non-medical resource and will introduce PATH as a program designed to help inform, support, and connect patients during pregnancy. Navigators will review screen and address supportive and adverse non-medical needs, facilitate communication, perform logistical support, provide advocacy and bridge communication with clinical teams, and perform health education. Navigation services will be tailored to individual medical, psychosocial, or logistical complexity.
