2024 Conference Theme
This year’s theme is Innovations in Healthcare Navigation.
Healthcare in Canada is often fragmented and challenging to navigate. As a result, patients may have negative experiences and not receive the care they need. Healthcare navigation is emerging as a strategy to reduce the barriers that patients and their care partners experience when navigating health and related services across settings and sectors. This is sometimes referred to as patient navigation, family navigation, systems navigation, and care navigation, among other terms. This year’s conference will highlight innovations in healthcare navigation. We welcome abstracts on a variety of topics, including innovations in healthcare navigation practice, education, administration, and research.
