A. Areas of Consideration (Facts)
-“Better still, they won't meet with just one doctor. There will be other doctors on the case—some from the other side of the hospital and some, perhaps, from the other side of the world.”
-Dealing virtual teams in diagnosis (Language, time, culture that affects approaches in dealing with patience)
- Patients.cc style for information database
- Her goal at the Buck Breast Care Center is to use virtual tools to bring more useful information (and more doctors) into the exam room. B. Problem
- Being able to virtually address a certain problem can really help a patient. The problem in this is that collaboration can be hard. Doctors have different ways on addressing a certain problem and it is highly manipulated by culture. One culture may have this idea that the cure must be pure high-dose medicine to fight the disease in shortest time possible but the drawback is that there will be hundreds of side effects, and others might have a culture of having small medicines to take for lesser side effects but will prolong the suffering. Time for collaboration can be a problem. I believe that no doctors would sacrifice themselves to be awake at 3:00AM in the morning just to diagnose a patient. Language is also a problem; we cannot assume that all doctors, even though this is a highly respectable profession, are fluent in English. I put this case on a problem in the organizational structure specifically organizing virtual teams.
I took further research on the case and found out that the site that is being referred might be the site (https://patients.cc/). Since there are youtube videos of Dr. Laura Esserman encouraging patients to put their cases on the site. The site is also the same with what Dr. Laura Esserman wanted in the case analysis. The problem with the (https://patients.cc/) is that anyone could go and deposit their information
