The MIPN will collaborate with Mi’kmaw and Indigenous clients and their families to provide guidance and advocacy as they navigate the multitude of treatments, services, and potential barriers throughout their health care journey. The MIPN provides consultative and advisory services to Indigenous patients referred to NSH/IWK programs and services by providing cultural interpretation and/or health literacy translation services and by supporting culturally competent and safe practice (e.g., access, system barriers, and navigation challenges). Supports Mi'kmaw Indigenous patients in communications with physicians, nurses, and other frontline care staff. Patient navigation is recognized as a key component of an integrated system and an effective way to improve the delivery of person-centred care and clinical efficiencies.
