Through this model, ShadowNurse empowers nurses to provide proactive education, address emerging concerns, and maintain a holistic approach to patient well-being.

Care navigation helps patients overcome fragmented healthcare systems by providing guidance on appointments, coordination among providers, and comprehensive resource management.
