Easier said than done. And that’s where technology and clinical navigation must be leveraged — to assist, facilitate, streamline, and support.

Where these teams of clinical navigators are integrated into the clinical pyramid and delegated all tasks that do not require physician attention.
Integrated technology + navigation = relief."
