Summary

This randomized control trial aims to explore a data-driven, proactive approach to identifying patients at greatest risk during the pandemic, and assess the impact of an embedded System Navigator in a primary health care setting. The System Navigator works one-on-one with patients to identify and provide support to their biological, psychological and social needs (e.g. income, housing, food security). Investigators are doing this study to find out whether proactive identification of vulnerable patients and linking to a System Navigator leads to reduction in emotional distress associated with managing complex health conditions and unmet social needs during COVID-19, compared to usual care. Investigators will involve approximately 180 patients from primary care clinics that are a part of the University of Toronto Practice-Based Research Network (UTOPIAN). The information from this study will be used to help us understand how proactive engagement within a primary health setting can help to improve the health of patients during COVID-19, and beyond.
