This study explored how Community Health Navigators (CHNs) can help patients after they leave the hospital. Interviews and workshops with various healthcare professionals revealed that CHNs could assist with non-medical challenges, such as providing emotional support, helping with medication, and arranging follow-up appointments. Key factors for their success include good communication with healthcare teams, patient acceptance, access to referral information, proper training, and supervision. The study highlighted the potential of CHNs to improve patient care after hospital discharge and identified areas for future research.
