WorldCare International, Inc. Celebrates Findings of Independent ROI Study
BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) August 28, 2015 -- An independent study recently conducted confirms that WorldCare International, Inc.’s online medical consultations result in high percentages of change to treatment recommendations and diagnosis. The 2015 return on investment (ROI) study was performed by the Center for Healthcare Informatics at Tennessee Tech University and analyzed WorldCare’s second opinion process.
The study reviewed cases across three representative WorldCare accounts. It revealed that 75 percent of the second opinions reviewed resulted in a change in treatment and 26 percent generated a change in diagnosis.
"Through our WorldCare second opinion service," states Hassan S. Sharif, MD, President and Chief Operating Office, WorldCare International, Inc., "we can confirm the diagnosis and recommend treatment plans that provide our members and their treating physicians with the resources and information necessary to reach confident medical decisions."
For members with any level of diagnosis or treatment change, the direct ROI was at least 123 percent.

On average, clients also experience a nearly 18 percent reduction of indirect costs associated with productivity.
