Personal Health Record - Scientific Evaluation of History of Family Illness

With majority of the top Indian doctors of the country being present in the metropolitan cities and the rise in the size of tier 2 and 3 cities has led to a lacuna in the healthcare delivery in these parts of India. And when the awful diagnosis of a surgery is prescribed, the patient is well within reason to go in for a second opinion. But if the healthcare industry that is already so busy with the burgeoning patient size has to go in for another round of prescribing opinion, we are actually sharing from an already little pie that is on offer. A need to develop a parallel vertical that assumes the solution to the situation without involving a lot of governmental and infrastructure mechanisms is by using information technology and connecting the patients with the providers virtually.
 
To improve the healthcare delivery model, the use of online medical consultation improves the access to the top medical practitioners for anyone from anywhere.

Medical Second Opinion, a healthcare IT firm brings together the best doctors from their respective specialties for live doctors’ advice by connecting patients who have been diagnosed for any tertiary level procedure/ surgery/ medical intervention seek a second opinion before they undergo the procedurethrough web services on computers and mobiles.

By scanning or taking a picture of their health documents and converting them into soft files which can be shared with these doctors far away, the diagnosis is made easy and more efficient. The online health record or personal health record is then safe from any damage, loss and can be accessed anytime even while the patient is travelling without the hard copies.

As urbanisation makes inroads, this provision can be extremely helpful to the patients from far flung places that now have access to the technology but their towns still lag behind in quality healthcare services being offered. The hospitals and the doctors whose consultation have been regarded as the final say are in anyways flooded with patients queued up outside their chambers to seek the opinions. This solution which involves technology acts as a quick mode which can be used from anywhere, even outside their chambers to examine the requests and get back to the patients. Most impressive doctors in metropolitan cities appreciate the concept of e-consultation, which is indicative to the impending surge in urbanisation of the healthcare landscape with the use of technology.

The rising standards of living and an exposure to the global facilities have got the hospitals in most big cities of the country to raise the bar in the list of world class services on the offer. While most top hospitals are equipped with such services, many more aspirational hospitals and clinics are using the services of Medical Second Opinion to qualify the technological advances reached in the country.
