We propose a bladder cancer patient-centered, interdisciplinary collaboration model of care adapted from an earlier model by Black, Dornan, and Allegrante (1986). The Bladder Patient-Centered Interdisciplinary Team (BPIT) model provides a conceptual foundation for assembling interdisciplinary teams and emphasizes the patient as an active participant in treatment and member of the care team, along with oncology nurses, wound ostomy and continence nurses, and oncology social workers.
