First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests a patient navigation program for people who visited the ER for kidney stones and are at risk of missing their follow-up urology appointment. About 31 participants will get a trained navigator who helps with scheduling, transportation, and other barriers for 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and improves follow-up rates.

Patient navigation program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple support program helps more patients get needed follow-up care, potentially reducing complications from kidney stones.
What could go wrong
This is a very small pilot study (31 people) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. It may not prove the program works or be generalizable to other settings.
