Patient Navigation to Improve Surgical Access in Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Conditions

• Hyperparathyroidism, Primary

Eligibility Criteria

Sex

ALL

Age

18 Years - N/A

Healthy Volunteers

Not accepted

Interventions

• Scheduling Navigation — OTHER
  Participants will be connected to a scheduler to schedule a surgical consultation visit at time of recruitment. Participation does not guarantee or require surgery.
• Without Scheduling Navigation — OTHER
  Patients will work with clinic staff in the usual fashion for their treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. They will not be connected directly to a scheduler to help schedule a surgical consultation visit at time of recruitment. With our crossover design, if patients have not yet received surgical consultation after 3 months, they will be called and connected with a scheduler at that time. Participation does not guarantee or require surgery.

Study Details

The goal of this study is to address surgical health equity in historically marginalized participants with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The main questions that this study aims to answer are, how does patient navigation impact: * The proportion of PHPT participants undergo parathyroidectomy? * The proportion of PHPT participants who complete surgical consultation? * Time to surgical consultation? * Time to surgery?
