Background
Inpatient Palliative Care Teams (IPCTs) are often called upon to provide multidisciplinary care across hospital settings at Jefferson. However, there is currently no mechanism in place wherein providers consulting the IPCT can provide feedback to specialty palliative care clinicians.

Furthermore, such input may also serve to identify completely new areas for inpatient palliative care needs.

Purpose: Single-use flexible ureteroscopes offer the advantage of being consistently functional and perfect for immediate clinical use right “out of the box.” Cost is the barrier to widespread acceptance of these instruments. Economic models have been put forth which compare the expense of acquiring and maintaining reusable flexible ureteroscopes to that of using single-use flexible ureteroscopes.However, one poorly defined variable in these models is the frequency of encountering an unsuitable reusable flexible ureteroscope at the beginning of a case. We sought to define this in a consecutive series of patients undergoing flexible ureteroscopy.
