How is Medical Case Management different from a second opinion service?
Advice given within the framework of a second opinion service is a one-time event, relating to a specific point in time. After receiving the opinion, any decisions pertaining to the desired course of treatment are left in the hands of the patient. Medix Medical Case Management is an ongoing service which provides real time and on-going support and feedback regarding the patient’s current condition and helps them in the decision-making process, alongside supervision and assistance, from the initial diagnosis provided by their treating doctor through to recovery.
What does the service include?
After the initial contact, and signing of Medix Consent Form & Medical Confidentiality Waiver, the patient will be assigned a dedicated personal medical team comprised of a Senior Case Manager and a Medical Coordinator Nurse.
The team will guide and support the customer in retrieving all of the relevant medical information, such as laboratory results, imaging, consultation reports and summaries. All this information will be revised, and if needed, the patient could be referred to undergo further testing which will be done in collaboration with his or her treating Doctor.
The case will then be discussed by a number of leading specialists in the relevant medical fields. After a multidisciplinary discussion a recommended plan as to the best course of treatment will be provided.
At this point, it is the Medical Case Manager’s responsibility to convey all the information regarding the diagnosis evaluation, possible treatment alternatives and the recommendations in an understandable yet concise way. After discussing the treatment plan and making the required decisions together with the patient, he will be referred to a leading specialist for implementation of the chosen treatment.
