The WorldCare Multidisciplinary MSO is Unlike Any Other
It used to take 50 years for medical knowledge to double. Now it’s estimated at 73 days.
The World Health Organization recognizes multidisciplinary team-based care as a critical strategy for improving health outcomes and costs. When several specialists collaborate on a single case, they can provide truly comprehensive care that is rooted in both the latest medical innovation and the patient’s personal needs.
WorldCare is the only provider of medical second opinions (MSO) that works exclusively with top-ranked hospitals and health systems. Our WorldCare Consortium of the top teaching and research hospitals provide the gold standard of specialist collaboration. They scale medical innovation by supporting members and local physicians in applying new insights to in-country care.
The WorldCare Consortium®
What Makes Us Different
Exclusive Focus on Serious & Complex Conditions
- WorldCare Multidisciplinary MSOs are available for 100+ conditions that have high medical and emotional complexity, like cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease.
- We specialize in these conditions because of their complexity and fast-moving diagnostic and care innovations.
- More routine medical conditions are better handled by individual physicians or telehealth services.
The WorldCare Consortium®
- Our Multidisciplinary MSOs are provided by the hospitals that lead in research, innovation and treatment for serious and complex conditions. These hospitals’ research leads to the development of new treatments, diagnostic tools, and technologies.
- Our medical reviews are always conducted by a multidisciplinary team rather than individual physicians.
- Each case is reviewed by an average of 4 to 7 specialists who work daily on rare or complex conditions that most doctors see only a few times in their careers.
Dedicated Clinician Support for Every Case
- Every member who requests an MSO has either a Registered Nurse or an in-country Medical Director to support them.
- WorldCare manages the MSO process from intake, through medical record collection and package preparation, to coaching the member on next steps after the MSO is complete.
- WorldCare is also the liaison between the Consortium hospital, the member, their family, and their doctor.
