The COVID-19 pandemic forced rapid implementation of Tele consultation into everyday practice. What once seemed like a lofty, futuristic goal became reality within the blink of an eye as various levels of Tele consultation were globally transformed into practice.The large-scale conversion to tele consultation visits over in-person visits was fueled by fear of the unknown as health systems entered the heart of a global pandemic.
A 2017 study of 286 patients conducted by the Mayo Clinic found that as many as 88% of patients looking for a second opinion will leave the office with a new or refined diagnosis.
Meanwhile, 21% of the people will leave with a “distinctly different” diagnosis. Conversely, the study, which was published in 2017 in the Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, discovered that 12% of patients will learn that the original diagnosis was correct. This means that one out of every five patients they saw was incorrectly diagnosed
Meanwhile, a controversial study conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine in 2016 say that medical errors should rank as the third leading cause of death in the United States, further supporting the need for second opinions.
For this reason, more and more patients are getting second opinions after a diagnosis. Whether your doctor recommends surgery, makes a cancer diagnosis or identifies a rare disease, there are many benefits to getting a second opinion. These benefits include everything from the peace of mind and confirmation to a new diagnosis or a different treatment plan.
