Тернии диагностики

Так выходит, что "второе мнение" очень важно, как и некоторые дополнительные обследования. Страховая медицина, однако, не поощряет подобные "лишние" растраты (зачем с одной и той же болячкой- к разным докторам? вам в этом году делали общий анализ крови, зачем еще один? и т. д.)
Rationale, aims and objectives
Diagnostic uncertainty is often encountered in a medical practice. Patients with ambiguous, uncertain, and undiagnosed problems are frequently referred for second opinions. Comparing referral diagnoses to final diagnoses provides an opportunity to determine how frequently final diagnoses vary and changes the direction of medical care.
Results
In 12% (36/286) of cases, referral diagnoses were the same as final diagnoses. Final diagnoses were better defined/refined in 66% (188/286) of cases; but in 21% of cases (62/286), final diagnoses were distinctly different than referral diagnoses. Total costs for cases in category 3 (different final diagnoses) were significantly higher than costs for cases in category 1 (P = .0001) and category 2 (P = <.0001).
Conclusion
Referrals to advanced specialty care for undifferentiated problems are an essential component of patient care. Without adequate resources to handle undifferentiated diagnoses, a potential unintended consequence is misdiagnoses resulting in treatment delays and complications leading to more costly treatments.
