Expanded
Role of Care Delivery for Primary Care Physicians |
 |
With
the advent of new medications, the role of the
primary care physician has expanded to include
the treatment of prostatitis, overactive bladder,
urinary tract infection, and other common urological
conditions. Today, primary care practitioners
and urologists work together to care for patients
with common urological problems. In addition to
practicing in a clinical setting, urologists now
serve as consultants and educators for the wider
medical community.

Urologists,
Primary Care Physicians Rely on the BladderScan®
The
BladderScan® provides both urologists
and primary care physicians with the information they
need to prevent unnecessary catheterization and its
adverse consequences. Catheterization increases a patient's
risk of developing urinary tract infection, a condition
which often requires antibiotic treatment. Through BladderScan®
use, these effects can be avoided, so that patient health
and comfort are increased and the need for antibiotic
medication is reduced.
This
section of our website contains information about the
clinical applications and benefits of the BladderScan®
in private practice. For more information about the
BladderScan® instrument, visit our Products
page.
Urology
for Primary Care Manual |
The
"Urology for Primary
Care" manual was written by an urologist
specifically for primary care physicians, to provide
up-to-date information about diagnosing and treating
common urological conditions, and guidelines to
determine when referral is necessary. Urologists
may also wish to preview our manual on "Urological
Health in the Acute Care Setting." |
