To eliminate the "I wish I had consulted with a doctor at that time..." - "Dr. to Dr. Consulting," a new service that connects doctors with each other, was launched. New "Dr. to Dr. Consulting" Service Connects Doctors with Each Other

Premier Research Inc. (Head office: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture; Representative Director: Junya Igarashi), a provider of medical business consulting services, will launch a new service, "Dr. to Dr. Consulting," on September 16.

A site for consultation between doctors and physicians

Background: Issues created by the fragmentation of medical care

While large hospitals have an environment in which teams of multiple professions and departments are available for discussion, the reality is that mid-sized and smaller hospitals and local clinics do not have doctors close at hand whom they can easily consult with when they encounter cases outside their specialty.

As a result,

Delayed diagnosis

Misjudgment of appropriate referrals

Overlooking hidden diseases

The impact on the patient can be significant.

Patient Case

This is the case of a patient at Hospital A (internist, pseudonym) in a rural area.

A patient in his 50s came to the hospital with fatigue and mild fever, but general tests showed no abnormalities and the cause could not be identified. The doctor in charge of the patient suspected the "possibility of an immune disorder," but it was difficult to determine the cause because the patient was not a specialist, and he was at a loss to decide to whom to refer the patient.

By using "Dr. to Dr. Consulting," case information can be shared online with an immunology specialist, and accurate advice can be obtained in a short time.

As a result, delays in diagnosis and referrals can be prevented and patients can be connected to the optimal treatment.
