Spanish translation:[servicio de] apoyo al paciente
Explanation:
"Patient advocacy is a concept that most people think they understand, but they probably don't comprehend its scope. In its simplest terms, patient advocacy regards any activity which ultimately benefits a patient. Using that definition, it can apply to caregiving for an individual patient, to groups that develop policies and advice that help patients, to government groups that develop legislation to improve systems or processes for patients."

Explanation:
Por lo que se ve, no hay una traducción exacta, pero en el artículo que adjunto aparecen explicadas las funciones que desempeñan. Básicamente es como un representante o paciente experto que sabe cómo "navegar por el sistema" y ayudar a otros pacientes.

Más adelante en el artículo, se define a esta figura como un "interlocutor entre el paciente y el personal médico", por lo que seguramente "mediador para el paciente" o "interlocutor", acompañado de una explicación adecuada, sea el término más cercano.
