The survey received responses from 48 cardiovascular programs across the United States, representing various healthcare organizations.<br /><br />One key finding is that 75% of the programs that currently do not have nurse navigators or coordinators are considering hiring for these positions. The survey also looked at the different titles of these roles, with heart failure and structural heart being the most common programs.<br /><br />The patient populations covered by these programs varied, with heart failure and structural heart being the top programs. The survey also examined the clinical duties and administrative duties of nurse navigators and coordinators. Clinical duties included patient education, device screening and education, and scheduling follow-up appointments, among others. Administrative duties included chart abstraction, QI projects, and data collection.<br /><br />The document also provides insights from specific programs, such as the Tucson Medical Center's Structural Heart Program and the Wellstar System's Heart Failure Nurse Navigator Team. These programs outlined their responsibilities, job descriptions, and challenges they face.<br /><br />Overall, the benefits of having nurse navigators and coordinators in these programs include better patient outcomes, improved patient satisfaction, and better utilization of community resources. The document concludes with upcoming webinars and contact information for further questions and feedback.
