Differential Diagnosis- Powered By A Network Effect Of Doctors

Differential Diagnosis has become popular as a term and methodology in recent years. It simply refers to systematic method of medical diagnosis, often aided by specially organized medical information. It is very important however, because the rates of misdiagnosis or over-diagnosis run are very high- roughly 25% according to several estimates. The correct diagnosis is the absolute essential first step to get successfully healed, treated or cured. The best doctors or medical processes simply get things right out of the gate.

Given the importance of diagnosis, it is so important to get this step right. The question is, how do you best to this? Some doctors use tools to aid them, and many work alone. One would think that the best approaches would be a team approach, consisting of the best doctors or specialists in a particular area. This is exactly how Flagship Global Health works. They provide guidance, routing and access to the world's leading specialists. But that is the second step of their process. The first step is when you call with a serious medical situation- they begin the process that leads to 99% patient satisfaction. They assess your situation, and consult internally on each case. After internal consultation, they then begin reaching out to their specialist network. A team of doctors work together on your case and figure out what direction to point you in. In most cases they get it right, in a medical system that often gets it wrong. It is a highly effective method of differential diagnosis, and is really the ideal model for medical care.

The end result of Flagship's process is that the patient gets a very high probability of correct diagnosis. Instead of 25% chance of error, there is a 99% success rate. The patient also gets access to the best medical care, which also comes with high rates of success. The net result is a highly effective health care system and product.

Priority Access To Leading Doctors

If you know much about the current state of medical care in the US, you know you can get better care here than anywhere else in the world. You just need to know how to find it. Avoiding bad doctors or the wrong doctors is critical. You also need to be able to find the very best doctors you can, especially when it is crunch time. Hospitals and health insurance companies market to you every day in the hopes of convincing you that a particular institution is going to be the answer to your particular problem. That may be the case, but the reality is that an individual doctor is going to be the person who can make or break your case.

Finding the best doctors and getting access to them becomes critical. The problem is that the best doctors have the most demand for their services. Makes sense right? Additionally, the best doctors and leading specialists often make (much) more money than other doctors. So they don't need to be in health insurance networks. In fact, if you are a leading doctor in a well populated area, it would be illogical to be part of a health insurance network. You be paid much less.
