| description | The ability of the Veterans Health Administration System to care for veterans with bladder cancer is influenced by the increased complexity of both veterans and the system’s capacity to do so, which is determined by personnel and equipment allocation. Herein, we review the guidelines for bladder cancer management in the context of this population and highlight unique veteran characteristics that impact the delivery of bladder cancer care within the Veterans Health Administration System. There are opportunities for standardization and implementation, which can improve the quality of this care, and we summarize the questions for which coordinated research efforts may provide answers. |
