Abstract:
Healthcare expenditures rise day by day. There is a clear disparity among nations to provide global healthcare and equal health facilities among different countries. This research aims to develop a knowledgebased online second opinion health care management system and develop a methodology to receive quality health care advice without traveling abroad. By using a knowledge-based expert opinion system, a subscriber or patient can easily get a second opinion and evaluate a first consultation or opinion provided by the current doctor to any doctor practicing in any distant location and review complete case information. Knowledgebased healthcare system specifically focuses on an online portal designed to provide connectivity between patients and healthcare specialists, clinics, or hospitals. There is an objective of provisioning of expert medical second opinion for patients from registered care consultant or care facility. Patient has the liberty to select one or more than one appropriate consultant(s) on the basis of their profile, ranking, and reviews. Defined set of cost is fixed by the consultant(s) for medical consultation from specialty dashboard with the ability of communicating complete case information, along with first opinion by their primary consultant and level of urgency for getting the opinion back from care consultant.
