This team will present an agreed-upon plan for treatment to the patient. The patient benefits from hearing from each discipline and being able to ask questions of all the team at one time. In addition, each case is reviewed at the MDC by over 15 specialists. This removes the burden from the patient to interpret treatment recommendations from separate appointments. It also reduces scheduling, travel and wait time until treatment, common obstacles to timely care.<\/p>\n<h3>Referring providers updated.<\/h3>\n<p>Communication is provided from the initial appointment through treatment and aftercare.<\/p>\n<h3>Eligibility<\/h3>\n<p>Patients and their providers can refer to the MDC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2356,"featured_media":7585,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-2099","uch_location","type-uch_location","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uch_location\/2099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uch_location"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/uch_location"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
