<br/><br/> Background: Chorionic disease care requires nurse-led interventions. Therefore, a nurse-<br/>led patient navigation system was developed in which enable the trained nurses to give <br/>advice and referred to other professionals during the process of recovery and rehabilitation <br/>from chronic diseases. Aim: The current study aims to designing and piloting nurses led- <br/>navigation system using digital technologies. Design: A quasi experimental design was <br/>utilized in this study with pre-test, intervention, and post-test measurements undertaken <br/>immediately and after six months of giving the training program. Setting: This study was <br/>conducted at selected hospital which affiliated to armed forces. Sample: A Convenience <br/>sample of a (No.30) of nurse manger & a (No.30) of staff nurse was recruited to carry out <br/>the present study and (No.30) of jury member who validated the proposed system. Tools: <br/>data was collected by demographic and work - related characteristics form, auditing the <br/>presence of navigation checklist, technologies availability checklist, system validity <br/>checklist, patient navigation knowledge test (pre, post and retention test) and nurse <br/>navigator practice observational checklist (pre- immediate – evaluative follow-up). <br/>Results: These findings revealed that proposed patient navigation system showed total <br/>agreement among expert jury members and an improvement in the knowledge scores of <br/>nurses in the immediate posttest and follow-up post test scores when compared to pre- test <br/>scores. As well, statistically significant differences were found between the nurse’s <br/>utilization for patient navigation in their area of practice throughout pre, immediate post <br/>and follow up, as they had highest scores immediately post program relative to program <br/>pre implementation. Conclusion: The implementation of patient navigation system and <br/>program improved the nurse's knowledge and improved their navigating practice in their <br/>area. Recommendations: implement patient navigation system in Egyptian hospital also <br/>providing a training program for the different level of nurses to develop competence in <br/>patient navigation practice.

Recommendations: implement patient navigation system in Egyptian hospital also providing a training program for the different level of nurses to develop competence in patient navigation practice.
