Coordination of Specialty Care
At Optima Medical, we provide comprehensive coordination of specialty care services, ensuring better communication and collaboration between you, your primary care provider, and specialists.
What is Coordination of Specialty Care?
Coordination of specialty care involves working closely with patients and specialists to manage referrals, treatments, and follow-ups. This ensures that all aspects of your healthcare are aligned, helping you receive the right care at the right time while minimizing stress and confusion.
How Does Coordination of Specialty Care Work?
1
Initial Assessment
Your primary care provider evaluates your health concerns and determines if specialized care is needed.
2
Referral Management
We handle referrals to trusted specialists in our network, ensuring a smooth transition.
3
Information Sharing
Your medical history, test results, and other relevant information are shared securely with the specialist to avoid unnecessary duplication and streamline care.
4
Ongoing Communication
We maintain open communication with specialists to ensure continuity of care and provide updates on your treatment progress.
5
Follow-Up Care
After your specialist visit, we coordinate follow-ups, ensuring that your care plan is adjusted as needed.
Why is Coordination of Specialty Care Important?
