title: Health care clinicians in sexual health medicine: focus on erectile dysfunction.
abstract: A consensus guidelines model was developed for managing erectile dysfunction (ED) by urology nurses and other health care clinicians. The model emphasizes identification of ED in all males older than 40, education and counseling as keys to intervention, and inclusion of partners whenever possible. These guidelines are intended to provide a comprehensive care model for ED patients and their partners, which would be optimally cost effective and clinically relevant. If successful, this new model will allow quality sexual health care to be provided to increasing numbers of patients and their partners.
