Quality & Measurement
The core of the work of the Quality & Measurement Department is to help our members improve the quality of care they provide to their patients. We focus primarily on healthcare performance measurement and on various types of quality improvement education and initiatives.
Advancing Health Equity
Recognizing the influence that disparities in prostate cancer care have on patient outcomes, the American Urological Association (AUA) collaborated with Pfizer Oncology to assess current practice patterns for those with prostate cancer and identify promising approaches to improve care, particularly among vulnerable populations. This was accomplished by developing and fielding a survey of AUA members and conducting in-depth interviews with three physicians who have spearheaded efforts to address health and healthcare disparities in prostate cancer.
