Pediatric urologic care can be complex and is often managed throughout the lifespan. Many urologic diagnoses necessitate both surgical and medical management, making collaboration between patients, registered nurses (RNs), advanced practice nurses (APNs), and physicians critical to patient outcomes and satisfaction of care. As healthcare changes and focus shifts from inpatient to outpatient care, team collaboration in the outpatient setting needs to be explored further. A unique care delivery model which values collaboration of team members and informed and shared decision making is discussed.
