Abstract

Urology workforce shortages in rural areas limit access to diagnostic cystoscopy for hematuria or surveillance cystoscopy for patients with bladder cancer. To address this, we developed a tele-cystoscopy model in which urologic advanced practice professionals (APPs) perform cystoscopies that are interpreted in real-time by board-certified urologists at their home institution. This collaborative model allows the cystoscopic interpretation to be performed by a board-certified urologist. This model may both improve access for patients in remote locations and may lead to greater acceptance of nurse-led cystoscopy in the medical legal environment found in the United States.
