And, you know, we're going to talk a little bit about BPH and how we manage our patients, but we looked at our attrition rates for BPH and it was 60 to 70% of patients at that time. And it's much better now. We're not coming for a second visit. And so we felt that there was, you know, just, we just needed all the help we could get.

When developing a program, though, we wanted to make sure we had a unified mission in terms of what was best for our practice, not necessarily what was the needs of an individual physician.

And then, you know, when we brought them in and we started growing the program, there's a lot of work that goes into running an APP program, whether it comes from onboarding, you know, making sure that they're clinically excellent, that they're following pathways and really up to date with the ever-changing knowledge that's coming out there.

And they're compliant from a documentation standpoint, a billing standpoint. We needed to kind of have somebody in charge and kind of one voice leading that program. And it's almost like leading a company.

You know, you need to make sure that all of the people in your company are growing and developing, that we're meeting their needs of their career goals and we're meeting the needs of the practice. So that's what the mission was. And We started in 2022 with one full-time equivalent APP.

I would kind of mirror that. We're trying to build a standardized way of onboarding. And that's not only locally in my practice at AUS, but we're part of the large urology platform called Solaris. And we're working that on onboarding for APPs on a national level. And it You know, we don't realize how fast our advanced practice providers actually catch up and are getting thrown in to see patients.
