Medical Second Opinion
A medical second opinion is a way to gain an additional opinion on a diagnosis, treatment or prognosis. It is an opportunity to correct errors, eliminate unconscious biases, find alternative treatment strategies or take the pathway that leads to the best outcome for a particular condition.
Medical Second Opinions For:
-
A second opinion could just confirm you already know, reassuring that you have the correct diagnosis and treatment plan. Sometimes, a second opinion will determine a different or refined diagnosis.
-
A second opinion could help if: you do not have a definitive diagnosis, you are confused about your diagnosis or treatment options or you feel rushed and uncomfortable about your prior medical experiences.

“Current healthcare systems are often disjointed due to insufficient communication between healthcare providers, suboptimal plan of care and lack of monitoring and follow-up. Care coordination is a key strategy that has the potential to improve the effectiveness, safety, and efficacy of patient care. Care coordination is centered around patients needs and preferences to guide the delivery of safe, appropriate, and effective care.”
