Virtual Second Opinions with Webex
Delivering a diagnosis gives patients a glimpse into what their future holds. To do so effectively, doctors need a tool that allows them to be precise and accurate when studying and analyzing tissue samples and then enables them to collaborate with colleagues and ultimately their patients during and after analysis. Connecting with patients, families and other health care professionals is a significant part of a doctor’s daily job.
Dr. Lester Thompson of Head & Neck Pathology Consultations was looking for a solution that would provide easy video conferencing and high definition screensharing. After evaluating several video conferencing solutions, he chose Cisco Webex Meetings.
He uses Webex Meetings screensharing capability to discuss and analyze reports with doctors from all over the world.
