You have a problem: Your doctors don’t talk to each other.
In fact, they probably don’t even agree with each other. They don’t coordinate; they don’t communicate. And YOU ARE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE.
The first doctor you saw had one plan – and it sounded fine. Just when you were getting started, however, the next doctor gave you a plan headed in a totally different direction. Now what?
Both doctors see their recommendations and concerns as the priority – and why shouldn’t they? Not only do they have an incentive to sell their services, but they also have extensive training where the other doctor doesn’t.
Somehow you are supposed to decide who is right and you don’t have training in any of it. It’s a terrible situation and if you’re like most patients, you’ll end up choosing the doctor you LIKE, not the doctor who is RIGHT.
Part of the Solution
Hansen Health Solutions can’t fix all of that, but it can address part of it: Doctors should talk to doctors. Patients should not be the go-between and should get consistent and uniform messaging from the providers.
The HHS Roundtable is a regularly-scheduled time for ALL our providers to meet. We review files, evaluations, recommendations, test results – all as a team. This means every provider (even those who don’t expect to have direct contact with a patient) is on the same page; they all know their place in your care, what the REAL priorities are, what the plan is to “peel the onion,” etc. They can then speak cohesively to you, support each other, and avoid confusion.
In the end, this increases healthcare quality AND delivery.
