Surgical patients at the University Hospital of Northern BC (UHNBC) are experiencing improved health even before their elective procedures because of proactive care from a team of doctors and health providers co-led by a urologist and a family physician.
Patients are recovering faster, care teams are more efficient, and pressure is eased on BC’s health care system by taking a prehabilitation approach through the Surgical Patient Optimization Collaborative (SPOC), which is funded by the Specialist Services Committee, Shared Care, and General Practice Committee; these three the Joint Collaborative Committees (JCCs) represent a partnership of Doctors of BC and BC Government.
