Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) poses challenges for timely diagnosis due to its protean early manifestations and lack of definitive tests. This article explores how patient navigation interventions can expedite diagnosis, particularly for underserved patients who face disproportionately longer delays. Patient navigation has proven effective in reducing disparities in various diseases by providing guidance and support to patients and caregivers. It enhances awareness, facilitates communication with health care providers, and streamlines diagnosis. Drawing from literature on patient navigation in other diseases, this article proposes tailored adaptations for ALS diagnosis and addresses potential implementation barriers and strategies to overcome them. Integrating patient navigation into the ALS diagnostic pathway holds promise for improving efficiency, optimizing outcomes, and reducing health care disparities among underserved populations.
