When you go to the doctor, you expect to find out what’s wrong and then have it treated appropriately.
But the fact is, “appropriate treatment” is a slippery thing. Yes, there is a best path of care for any patient with any given condition, but this doesn’t mean you’ll get it.
In fact, about half the time, you won’t. Studies show that 46% of Americans receive substandard care each time they seek medical treatment. Add to that the complexity of dealing with the healthcare system, coordinating benefits, transferring records, and so on.
Inappropriate variation of treatment has become a fact of life. The reason is that no doctor can stay current on the constantly self-updating knowledge base of best-practice care. And we, as patients, rarely know who the leading doctors are for a particular condition or how to best navigate the world of healthcare.
So what should we do?
We start by expecting more from healthcare. We demand nothing less than the best path of care for our individual medical needs and the best healthcare guidance.
The Internet won’t help. The info there is generic, often inaccurate, often biased, often old. Your 2.4 million Google results don’t come with a guide to worthwhile nuggets.
The only way to do the tremendously heavy lifting required to know the current standard of care is with an engineered, technological solution. One that constantly analyzes and reports in real time on any condition or drug.
Only MedExpert has that technology. It took more than a decade and some of the brightest minds in medicine and artificial intelligence to build.
Finding the path is vital. But communicating this information in caring, human language is just as important. The best information in the world means nothing if we can’t make use of it.
That’s why MedExpert has a staff of doctors whose sole job is imparting knowledge. Physicians who take the most current standard of care and translate it into usable, actionable meaning that you and I can use to make the right medical decision—the one that produces the best health outcome.
What’s more, MedExpert’s staff of highly trained Medical Information Coordinators are ready to work as your advocate in obtaining best-quality care. Coordinating benefits, setting up appointments, transferring records, expediting wait lists—these are the kinds of services that MICs will take on for you and your family.
Who wants to become another statistic for incorrect or unnecessary treatment? Now, today, none of us has to be. MedExpert, with its unique technology, on-staff physicians, and effective advocates, empowers all of us with the very foundation of effective treatment: the right information and expert guidance.
And the best part is that your organization has arranged for MedExpert at no cost to you or your family, no matter how often you use it.
