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 from multidisciplinary group discussions. The numerous queues identified in this map ultimately reflected opportunities for more efficient care navigation under a SCM through increased surgeon availability and shared resource utilization.
