Men’s Health Urology Crisis: 10 Retire, 1 Starts Practicing The shortage of urologists is creating a critical gap in men’s health care. PROBLEM? - For every 10 urologists retiring, only 1 new specialist enters the field. - About 37% of urologists report experiencing burnout. - 62% of U.S. counties lack a practicing urologist. SOLUTION? Leverage health technology for a better provider and patient experience. HOW? - Flexibility: Virtual visits allow urologists to practice at their convenience (even patients appreciate after-hours visits). - AI-Enabled Visits: Providers don’t need to spend 30 extra minutes documenting pre- and post-visits—AI can handle that more efficiently. - Focus on Patients: Let providers focus on what they love—practicing medicine, not paperwork. This improves outcomes and patient satisfaction. OUTCOME: Increased access, improved care for men, reduced provider burnout, and cost savings for all. #MensHealth #DigitalHealth #BastionHealth #HealthcareInnovation #AccessToCare #Telemedicine #ProviderBurnout
