Integrated Care in a Large Public System Improves Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Management
The integrated model showed cost savings, particularly through initial management by PCPs and with streamlined transitions from PCPs to specialists. Clinical integration resulted in more cost-effective BPH care for the patient, providers, and health system. The integrated approach may enhance access to specialty care while minimizing treatment burden and health care expenditures.
