San Mateo CA, July 23, 2019 -- The Children’s Mercy Hospital of Kansas City and MORE Health, a global healthcare company, announced an innovative partnership that provides patients from across the world access to the exceptional physicians of Children’s Mercy Hospital through MORE Health’s Physician Collaboration Platform™.
MORE Health, through its prestigious network of tertiary and quaternary Academic Medical Centers and esteemed physician specialists, delivers a sophisticated version of medical second opinion for its patients, called a collaborative diagnosis (or Co-Diagnosis®). The Co-Diagnosis® service is delivered by a full-featured, intuitive and HIPAA-compliant online platform. Together, with the patient’s treating physicians in their home country, our physician specialists team up to efficiently and effectively deliver a diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient. This provides the MORE Health patient with a remote second opinion, saving them time and sometimes, putting their worries at ease.
“This partnership allows Children’s Mercy Hospital to bring our clinical innovations to both Chinese patients and Chinese physicians. Without MORE Health’s unique platform, it would be difficult to offer remote second opinions in a way that would be both scalable and reciprocal. Together we can now influence the future of healthcare in China.” said Pamela Frank, Director, International Services at Children's Mercy Hospital.
