Tailoring Treatment Plans to Individuals
Our strategy to provide the highest standard of patient care focuses on tailoring treatment plans to individual needs by ensuring easy access to a vast network of physicians, providers, and facilities across New York. With hundreds of physicians and surgeons available, including primary care doctors and specialists in cancer care, surgery, urology, robotic procedures, and various forms of radiology, we prioritize proximity and convenience for our patients. By locating our services throughout these regions, we aim to make it straightforward for individuals to receive the specialized care they require without undue travel or delays.
Additionally, our commitment to personalized care extends to specialized infusion services delivered through a network of infusion centers. These centers are equipped to manage a wide range of infusion needs, from treatments for conditions such as Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and iron or vitamin deficiencies, to chemotherapy, hormonal therapies, IV antibiotics, and hydration for chronic illnesses. By offering comprehensive infusion options within our accessible network, we ensure patients receive these crucial treatments in a comfortable and convenient environment, tailored to their specific medical requirements.
The initial phase in tailoring personalized medical care starts with ensuring no immediate life-threatening issues are present. In the case that such a critical condition is discovered, our extensive network of regional hospitals comes into play. We maintain close relationships and privileges with these facilities, ensuring they are well-informed about our patients' needs for inpatient services.
For screening services like lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer, we begin with a thorough risk assessment, helping us determine whether someone falls into categories of average, intermediate, or high risk for these cancers. Depending on the risk level identified, we customize our approach to screening, which may involve utilizing advanced techniques such as specialized CT scans, MRI scans, or sophisticated genetic testing, and other blood tests. This personalized approach ensures that each individual receives screening specifically suited to their unique medical needs and potential risks.
When patients first meet with their primary care physician, we systematically record their medical history, detailing symptoms from all organ systems. A comprehensive clinical examination follows, comparing findings with the patient's reported history. We prioritize areas where the patient may not be experiencing optimal health and delve deeper if there are indications of potential issues beyond normal health parameters. This personalized approach recognizes the uniqueness of each patient, ensuring that diagnostic investigations are tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.
Following and during investigations to address medical concerns, we ensure continuous follow-up through our advanced scheduling and call center facility. This sophisticated system manages over a million patient communications, seamlessly integrating with medical and scheduling records. It's designed to accommodate our patients unique lives and schedules of our patients, minimizing the risk of missed appointments or unfulfilled rescheduling. This proactive approach not only supports the individuality of each patient but also safeguards the quality of their medical care, ensuring they receive timely and personalized attention throughout their treatment journey.
Our level of tailoring to the patient’s unique self is unprecedented.
