Implementing a Nurse Navigator for Placenta Accreta Spectrum Disorder
MCN. the American Journal of Maternal Child Nursing
|August 13, 2025
Summary
Implementing a placenta accreta spectrum disorder (PAS) navigator improves multidisciplinary team communication and efficiency. This role enhances provider experiences and streamlines care for this complex pregnancy condition.
Area of Science:
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
- Surgical Patient Care
Background:
- Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorder is a rare but increasingly common condition linked to higher cesarean rates.
- PAS is associated with significant morbidity and mortality due to hemorrhage risk.
- Complex PAS cases necessitate a multidisciplinary team approach and comprehensive patient education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of implementing a PAS disorder navigator on team communication and efficiency.
- To assess improvements in provider experience and care coordination for PAS patients.
Main Methods:
- A PAS disorder navigator role was established to standardize care and improve readiness.
- Anonymous surveys were administered to assess team member experiences before and after navigator implementation.
Main Results:
- Post-implementation surveys (21 responses) showed improvements in communication, role clarity, and teamwork compared to pre-implementation (11 responses).
- Data indicated enhanced provider experiences and fewer action items from debriefs.
Conclusions:
- The implementation of a PAS disorder navigator significantly improved communication and team efficiency.
- The navigator role enhanced provider experiences and contributed to a more streamlined care process for PAS patients.

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
