Patients at Lexington Clinic benefit from a collaborative approach to lung cancer care, which centers around an internal conference system.
The lung cancer conference offers patients the following benefits:- Physicians engaged in the care of lung cancer patients come together to meet and discuss patient care on a regular and continuing basis. The case review at these meetings assures that all the expertise from a variety of specialists are brought to bear on each patient’s needs.
- Care is documented within a single electronic medical record system to which all physicians involved in the care have access and within a single private practice where the physicians know and confer with each other continuously.
- Patients may be seen by all specialties in a single day if requested or needed.
- The continuity and comfort offered in this setting makes for a less stressful, more accessible and better coordinated course of care. At Lexington Clinic, we maintain a personal interest in our patients.
- Referring physicians are kept abreast of progress throughout diagnosis and treatment.
