Abstract in brief

  • The study compared inpatient urology consults between academic and private practice urologists at a large hospital, finding most consults were for common issues like Foley catheter placement and urinary retention, with a significant portion (over half) requiring no intervention, indicating potential overuse.
  • There were no significant differences in the timing or need for intervention between academic and private practice urologists, and many consults (about 52%) were possibly unnecessary, leading to considerable time loss and increased healthcare costs.
  • The findings suggest that better education and coordination among hospital staff could reduce unnecessary urology consults, which may help decrease healthcare costs and alleviate burnout among urologists.]
