Summary
This trial aims to investigate how patient navigation can improve surgical outcomes for individuals with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) who have been historically marginalized. The study will focus on the impact of patient
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with primary hyperparathyroidism, particularly those from historically marginalized communities. The study aims to improve their access to surgery. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically include a confirmed diagnosis and being within a certain age range.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of 'Scheduling Navigation' compared to standard approaches without such assistance. It looks at whether this helps patients get surgical consultations and surgeries faster, and if it increases the number of patients getting surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on scheduling navigation rather than medical treatments or interventions, there are no direct side effects related to medications or procedures. However, participants may experience stress or anxiety related to scheduling and attending appointments.
