THIRD STRATEGIC GOAL
Organizing patient clinical care and personalized follow-up
Reaching your third strategical goal
The patient must be guided in complying with the recommendations and know his/her subsequent follow-up routine. Here, you can see how the guidelines provided to the patient lead your facility to achieve the third strategic goal.
Guidelines Provided to the patient
Here, you will receive a personalized care program. It consists of an integrative assessment involving all medical specialties necessary for your comprehensive healthcare. In general terms, the program covers the attending physician and all designated consulting physicians. The attending physician identifies the extent of your problem and guides the participation of consulting physicians, whose number varies according to your specific needs. Each consultant physician carries out his assessment and returns his recommendation to the attending physician through a medical conference. Clinical data are edited and published in your DHR and discussed on your customized tumor board, involving the attending physician and all your consulting physicians, resulting in consensual recommendations. Subsequently, the attending physician edits and publishes a medical report in your DHR, according evidence-based medicine.
Our dynamics also provides a personalized follow-up program, including all the specialties involved in your care. You will receive an appointment calendar. Your attending physician will complete it. It will indicate the scheduled date for each intervention and the date on which it is actually carried out. Remarks, when checked with an (Yes), must be fully described, pointing out the need for further investigation. Each follow-up intervention will be posted twice under the Progress Note icon of your DHR.

The guidelines provided in this section extends proactive patient behavior into his/her care and follow-up programs. The platform induces a cognitive and empathetic approach by the attending physician. It is inclusive in nature, allowing the patient to understand the reasoning used, promoting easy access to his/her clinical data. Additionally, Onco Qaly Platform makes available more information. At patient discretion, he/she can better understand the meaning of clinical solving-problem methodology and multidimensional integrative medicine further exploring cognitive interventions provided below.
One of the best ways to extend medical knowledge to patients and families is through Programmed Clinical Simulations (PCS). These are stories that reflect the real world and reveal medicine in its multidimensional integrative approach. The plot facilitates the understanding of the physical, emotional, cognitive and social components in coping with the disease. The patient is always the protagonist and the doctor is the one who tells the story. Assuming the supporting role, the doctor explains the rationale of each of the proposed interventions.
PCS represent an efficient resource in the cognitive approach to the patient, an essential condition for obtaining informed consent and practicing qualified and patient-centered shared decision-making.
Let's see how this works!
After being informed of the diagnosis, the patient selects the most appropriate story, choosing the anatomical location of the primary tumor or sharing the identification with the main human value (anchor value) used by the protagonist to guide the doctor-patient relationship.
The choice centered on the primary tumor refers to a more physical cognitive intervention. The patient learns the clinical expression of the disease, staging criteria, diagnostic approach and therapeutic recommendations.
The option for a specific anchor value refers to a subliminal cognitive intervention, strengthening the patient for a better emotional coping with the disease.
Each patient needs a specific time to assume the diagnosis of cancer. However, oncological recommendations always have an urgent expectation, and the patient will find in the PCS a valuable tool to speed up the understanding of the disease.
Subliminal intervention also helps the patient with turning points. These are very special moments when the patient stops complaining and starts to collaborate with the doctor in the effective resolution of the problem.
