For many people, a diagnosis of cancer is completely unexpected, like a lightning bolt out of a blue sky. With our busy lives, as with many things, we are not concerned with cancer unless it affects us directly. Thus, when newly diagnosed with cancer, the majority of us will be faced with the sudden need to search out cancer doctors and cancer centers dealing with certain cancers and cancer treatments.
Hello, I’m Dr Peter Raich, Chief Medical Officer of RedKangaroo. As a physician and a patient, I am familiar with the many obstacles patients and families face in finding timely and expert care when dealing with a serious illness such as cancer. For patients, searching to make new appointments and second opinion consultations can be extremely frustrating and time- consuming in our siloed healthcare system
The RK360 AI-enriched Find Best Care Directory addresses these challenges head-on, for providers as well as patients.
Our Directory includes over 8 million NPI-registered providers across the United States. We use advanced algorithms to match patients with verified expert providers. Provider contacts are made in real time, circumventing time-consuming back-and-forth exchanges over fax and phone.
With the Directory, it is easy to exchange pre- and post-visit electronic medical records between patient and provider, including insurance information, immediately giving new providers critical patient information and eliminating repeat requests from multiple providers. Obtaining second opinions are widely recommended to assure patients and their family that the course of action and treatment recommended are indeed state of the art. The RK360 Find Best Care Directory is the best tool available to set up such timely consultations. It is a powerful tool designed to simplify communication between provider and patient, improve coordination of care and provide patient satisfaction.
