Often cited examples of this can be seen with neuroscience centers, wound care, cancer, and other specialties. The concept of developing a multidisciplinary cardiovascular center (CVC) has been around for some time but is not without challenges. The care of the cardiovascular patient is often split between many subspecialties with many of them vying for market share for similar disease processes. Furthermore, parochial silos often hamper productive integration between specialties especially within academic medical centers.
