Our study seeks to explore the navigational experiences within the healthcare system for older patients with multimorbidity in an Asian, multi-ethnic society. The findings will be shared with decision-makers in the healthcare setting in order to improve patient care for this population and ultimately maximise their positive health outcomes, and will add to better understanding how the burden of treatment arising from navigational challenges within the healthcare system may be reduced for older patients with multimorbidity.
