Mapping a shared care model in complex gastrointestinal surgery: A qualitative study of queues and stakeholders within a Canadian general surgery practice.

ABSTRACT: Shared Care Models (SCMs), in which a team of clinicians share in patient care and resource utilization, represent an opportunity for surgeon-level system change. We aimed to identify the queues and stakeholders within a complex gastrointestinal surgical care pathway to demonstrate the implications of a SCM on system efficiency. A multidisciplinary group of surgeons and care navigators working in SCMs were asked to develop a patient encounter map through consensus to illustrate relevant queues and stakeholders within a SCM. Fifteen surgeon-related queues were identified, each representing a point of potential delay to care in the patient's journey that could be addressed by shared care. A final patient encounter map was created, and advantages and challenges of SCMs were also described fro
