What is the required support for a consultation?
There are three key components
- The Request – There must be a request for a consultation from an appropriate source – a referring physician. When requesting for a Cardiac Consultation, specific information on the patient should be included (such as the reason for the referral, recent diagnostic procedures etc.), as it may be a great tool in medical decision making for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
- The Medical Examination - History, exam and medical decision making are required to support the level of service for a consultation.
- The Report – The consultant prepares a written report of his/her findings, alongside their recommendations for treatment, and any therapeutic interventions that have been planned or have begun. The report is then provided to the referring physician.
