Physicians and mental health professionals are increasingly embracing a patient-centered approach that affords an increased opportunity for personalized care. But for patients to benefit, they may need better support to stay engaged with their treatment plan. An advocate, like those at HMC HealthWorks are assigned to help every covered individual navigate and successfully access their healthcare benefits. An advocate can coach and help prepare patients for medical appointments, assist in identifying specialists and making appointments and centralize the transfer of medical information. Studies also show that, “Patient navigators can not only facilitate improved health care access and quality for underserved populations through advocacy and care coordination, but they can also address deep-rooted issues related to distrust in providers and the health system that often lead to avoidance of health problems and non-compliance with treatment recommendations.” About HMC HealthWorks.
