What is an adherence navigator RN?

An Adherence Navigator RN is a registered nurse who specializes in helping patients follow their prescribed treatment plans, particularly for chronic conditions. They work closely with patients, healthcare providers, and care teams to address barriers to medication adherence, provide education, and coordinate resources. The goal is to improve patient outcomes by ensuring that patients understand and stick to their treatment regimens. Adherence Navigator RNs often use motivational interviewing, track patient progress, and may intervene when non-adherence is identified.
