Shared care models for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) improve patient access and reduce urology wait times. This national initiative successfully integrated primary care, enhancing efficiency and saving costs.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Health Services Management

Context:

  • Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) presents a high prevalence, increasing demand for specialized care.
  • Existing models for managing chronic conditions like Diabetes and Hypertension can be adapted for BPH.
  • The need for efficient and accessible healthcare delivery models is paramount.

Purpose:

  • To present the first national experience of implementing a shared care model for BPH between primary care and urology.
  • To establish standardized protocols for patient evaluation, treatment, and referral within a shared care framework.
  • To assess the compliance and effectiveness of the implemented shared care program.

Summary:

  • A national project introduced shared care for BPH, involving awareness campaigns, training for family physicians, and a clinical practice guide.
