Pathways through the mental health care system can be complex and laden with barriers that prevent individuals from finding the most appropriate care. Navigation has been proposed as a solution for improving access to and transition through complex health care systems. While several MHA navigation programs have emerged in the past decade, no study has explored the core themes of MHA navigation, which was the goal of the current review. A scoping review was conducted; the search yielded 11,525 unique results, of which 26 were entered into extraction and subsequent descriptive and thematic analysis. Barrier reduction, client-centered support, and integrated care emerged as the distinct themes underlying MHA services, and overall, navigation significantly improved outcomes for individuals experiencing MHA issues. These findings may support evidence-based implementation of navigation services and point to a need for increased exploration and reporting of MHA navigation outcomes in the literature.

Introduction: Transitional-aged youth (TAY) are at a vulnerable stage of their development in which mental health and/or addiction (MHA) issues tend to manifest and/or increase in severity. These youth also tend to find themselves caught in the gap between child and adult MHA services, often resulting in sub-optimal access to and transition through MHA services. Navigation services may be one way to close this and other system gaps and improve service utilization and supports for TAY.

TAY also tend to find themselves subject to multiple care transitions, often resulting in sub-optimal access to MHA services. The objective of this study was to explore the perspectives of TAY, family members, and system providers regarding the supports needed by TAY and their families during transitions through MHA care.

: Epilepsy surgery for extratemporal lobe epilepsy (ETLE) is challenging, particularly when MRI findings are non-lesional and seizure patterns are complex. Invasive diagnostic techniques are crucial for accurately identifying the epileptogenic zone and its relationship with surrounding functional tissue. Microscope-based augmented reality (AR) support, combined with navigation, may enhance intraoperative orientation, particularly in cases involving subtle or indistinct lesions, thereby improving patient outcomes and safety (e.

Melissa Cawley-Chambers, MHA, BSN, RN, CV-BC, is a Clinical Nurse Navigator, born and raised in rural Southside Virginia having served as a nurse for 15 years in a hospital setting and worked in acute and critical care for most of her career until transitioning to nurse navigation 3 years ago. Nurse Navigation gives her the fulfillment of giving back to the community and helping patients succeed in their chronic disease management.
Purpose Of Initiative: After noting an elevated chronic obstructive pulmonary disease readmission rate for 2022, the inpatient Nurse Navigator at a rural nonprofit, 116-bed acute care facility in the State of Virginia met with interdisciplinary team (IDT) members to identify improvement efforts to decrease 30-day readmission rates.
Primary Practice Setting: A 116-bed health care facility in Southside Virginia.
Methodology And Sample: Quality improvement initiative aimed to decrease 30-day penalty readmission rates using a collaborative IDT approach, focusing on patients 65 years or older who are discharged home or to an assisted living facility with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pneumonia.

This article is the sixth in the Movement is Life series and focuses on insurance coverage and medication management in the perioperative period, 2 tangentially related variables that affect patient outcomes. Our aim is to use current practices and literature to develop recommendations for nurse navigators' execution of preoperative optimization protocols related to payer status and medication management. Discussions with nurse navigators and a literature search were used to gather information and develop recommendations specific to optimizing payer status and medication management.
