As Alaska Urology has grown, the need to match a patient to the skill of a provider has become a means to ensure streamlined appointments for our patients and organization efficiency. We operate using a Care Team model which includes our Board-Certified urologist and Nationally Certified-Physician Assistants for every patient.Â
This work flow transitions a patient between Physician and Physician Assistants as they move back and forth between acute (emergent) and chronic follow-up while maintaining continuity of care within a care team. This model provides the patient confidence and familiarity with all their providers whilst allowing flexibility to schedule follow-ups or appointments.
Continuity of care is an important concept that has always been promoted at Alaska Urology. This model incorporates our philosophy for each unique patient while ensuring we are meeting their needs.Â
