The demand already exists
Families with a diagnosis and a treatment plan want a qualified independent read. Today they get it through connections, informally, undocumented. A formal channel with a defined deliverable serves them better and pays for its own documentation.
Define the deliverable
A second opinion is a review of stated records, producing a written note: agreement, alternatives, or questions to ask the treating team. Naming what it is — and is not — protects the reviewing consultant and manages the family’s expectations.
| Item | Standard | Consequence / owner |
|---|---|---|
| Intake | Records upload + specific question | Structured form |
| Deliverable | Written note, defined scope | Template |
| Turnaround | Stated band, tracked | Coordinator |
| Billing | Own service code | Transparent price |
| Conversion | Intervention cases offered booking | Ethical, disclosed |
Tele-review widens the catchment
Records travel better than patients. A structured upload-and-review flow lets your specialists serve towns your OPD never will — and each review that recommends intervention arrives pre-warmed to your own facility.
What to do on Monday
- Draft the deliverable template with legal review.
- Pick two specialties for the pilot quarter.
- Publish the price and turnaround band.
