A urology nurse clinic was developed to improve cost and quality of care outcomes for patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy amid cost constraints and the need for improved service delivery. Cost and quality of care outcomes were achieved through earlier discharge and improved assessment, education, and discharge planning for patients. The professional development of urology nurses also improved through increased practice of advanced assessment skills and broadened scope of practice.
