Outpatient workflow for ambulatory procedures based on DORSCON status.
| Type | DORSCON status | Disease/procedure |
|---|---|---|
| Priority 1 | Green/Yellow, Orange, Red | • Scope for high-grade UC surveillance |
| • Prostate biopsy (high-risk category) | ||
| • Intravesical instillation therapy for high-risk UC | ||
|
| ||
| Priority 2 | Green/Yellow, Orange | • Scope for low-grade UC surveillance |
| • Prostate biopsy (low-risk category) cancers | ||
| • Shock wave lithotripsy for non-obstructive ureteric and symptomatic renal calculi | ||
| • Intravesical instillation therapy for low/intermediate-risk UC | ||
|
| ||
| Priority 3 | Green/Yellow | • Scope for asymptomatic microscopic haematuria |
| • Scope for LUTS | ||
| • Shock wave lithotripsy for asymptomatic renal calculi | ||
DORSCON Yellow/Green: Priority 1, 2 and 3; DORSCON Orange: only Priority 1 and 2; DORSCON Red: only Priority 1 and emergencies. LUTS: lower urinary tract symptoms, UC: urothelial cancer
