As the role of technology expands in healthcare, so does the need to support its implementation and integration into the clinic. The concept of a new team member, the digital navigator, able to assume this role is introduced as a solution. With a digital navigator, any clinic today can take advantage of digital health and smartphone tools to augment and expand existing telehealth and face to face care. The role of a digital navigator is suitable as an entry level healthcare role, additional training for an experienced clinician, and well suited to peer specialists. To facilitate the training of digital navigators, we draw upon our experience in creating the role and across health education to introduce a 10-h curriculum designed to train digital navigators across 5 domains: (1) core smartphone skills, (2) basic technology troubleshooting, (3) app evaluation, (4) clinical terminology and data, and (5) engagement techniques. This paper outlines the curricular content, skills, and modules for this training and features a rich online supplementary Appendix with step by step instructions and resources.

数字导航器在促进临床护理和技术融入实践中的作用

随着技术在医疗保健中的作用不断扩大，支持其实施和融入诊所的需求也在扩大。作为解决方案，引入了能够承担此角色的新团队成员（即数字导航员）的概念。借助数字导航器，当今的任何诊所都可以利用数字健康和智能手机工具来增强和扩展现有的远程医疗和面对面护理。数字导航员的角色适合作为入门级医疗保健角色、对经验丰富的临床医生的额外培训，也非常适合同行专家。为了促进数字导航员的培训，我们利用我们在创建角色和跨健康教育方面的经验，推出了 10 小时课程，旨在培训 5 个领域的数字导航员：(1) 核心智能手机技能，(2) 基本技术故障排除, (3) 应用程序评估，(4) 临床术语和数据，以及 (5) 参与技术。本白皮书概述了本次培训的课程内容、技能和模块，并提供了包含分步说明和资源的丰富在线补充附录。
