Abstract

Early pregnancy is a critical period often accompanied by complications like early pregnancy loss. Early Pregnancy Assessment Clinics (EPACs) provide specialized and compassionate care to those experiencing these complications. First introduced in the United Kingdom, EPACs have been found to improve quality of care, reduce wait times, and cut costs. In Canada, EPACs are primarily limited to large urban centres at hospital sites. Access in other parts of the country, especially in rural areas, remains limited. Low-volume units managed by specialist nurses and family doctors, with support from specialists, are the best way to bring EPACs to more Canadians in need.

是时候将孕早期保健作为加拿大的优先事项了。
孕早期是一个关键时期,往往伴随着孕早期流产等并发症。孕早期评估诊所(EPACs)为出现这些并发症的孕妇提供专业和体贴的护理。早孕评估门诊最早在英国推出,被认为可以提高护理质量、减少等待时间并降低成本。在加拿大,EPAC 主要局限于大城市中心的医院。在加拿大其他地区,尤其是农村地区,EPAC 的使用仍然有限。由专科护士和家庭医生在专家的支持下管理的小规模单位是为更多有需要的加拿大人提供 EPAC 的最佳途径。
