Patient Navigation to Improve Surgical Access in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania
Summary
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?

Scheduling Navigation
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
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.
