Abstrakt:	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 UK, EPACs have been found to improve quality of care, reduce wait times, and cut costs. In Canada, EPACs are primarily limited to large urban centers 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. (Copyright © 2024.
