Seeing a New Doctor for an Old Problem

Medical decision making can often be a difficult and complex process, especially when you find yourself in a complicated situation. What would you do, for example, if a patient came to see you with the same problem that he or she had recently been to see a different doctor about?

Well, it would be your job to treat the problem as a brand new problem, providing that the other doctor the

patient saw was the same type of practitioner and that the patient had seen that doctor within the last three years. In this type of situation, healthcare practitioners are advised to treat the issue as not having been fully addressed by the other physician and as a brand new problem to be explored from all angles.

Fortunately, there are “intelligent” applications that can help you to know what to do, ethically and legally, in even the most confusing situations. Take advantage of these wonderful technological tools to make your life easier.
