This report describes the experience and lessons learned from implementing and optimizing a patient navigation model to fit the needs of a low-income and ethnically diverse South Florida community. Methods: A patient navigation model based on an algorithmic risk stratification system was created and implemented with the focus on tailored follow-up and specialized navigator training to achieve successful patient contact and follow-up. Results: Incorporating patient risk stratification which was used to guide student navigator training and follow-up guidelines led to a hands-on learning experience for medical students with skills that could be applied to clinical practice as well as higher achievement of successful patient contact and navigation outcomes. Over the three years that navigation outcomes were monitored, this system allowed students to successfully complete the navigation process with 52.5% of patients who attended health fairs. Conclusion: The structure based on risk stratification and set follow-up timeline all contributed to greater success in teaching medical students how to connect patients to local community resources as well as achieving patient contact and navigation outcomes in our patient navigation program serving the South Florida community.

Published: August 2024

Iron deficiency (ID) is a frequent comorbidity in patients with heart failure (HF). Coexistent HF and ID make the issuesmore challenging to diagnose and treat. Iron deficiency exacerbates clinical symptoms, impairs quality of life and increasesthe risk of recurrent hospitalization for HF. Conversely, a proinflammatory state and altered gut kinetic in HF may resultin absolute or functional ID, which conventional laboratory makers may not diagnose and differentiate accurately. Noveldiagnostic markers like soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), reticulocyte hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell distributionwidth, sTfR: log (ferritin) ratio and serum hepcidin levels may help to diagnose ID more accurately in the setting of HF. Theintravenous (IV) iron formulation has shown promising results in improving the functional class and reducing recurrenthospitalization in patients with HF and ID. Futuristic therapies like nanosized iron preparations, hepcidin inhibitors andhepcidin antagonists may help manage ID more efficiently and conveniently in HF. This manuscript explores the relationshipbetween ID and HF. It also provides the latest information related to the diagnosis and treatment of ID in HF patients
