A nurse navigator program for high-risk joint replacement patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a nurse navigator (a special nurse who helps guide your care) can improve outcomes for people having hip or knee replacement who also have certain health challenges. It may help you manage your health before and after surgery.
