Medical Second Opinion Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Growing awareness about second opinions will drive the market growth
People obtain medical counsel on the advantages and disadvantages of organ transplantation. A second medical opinion is a significant extra point of view on a patient's diagnosis and treatment, accomplished through a telemedicine application. During orthopedic surgery, patients are always given a second opinion to ensure they have all the information they need to plan ahead of time. Therefore, growing awareness about the concept offers a greater degree of thinking to decide upon the final course of action in complicated medical situations.
- Growing focus on minimizing costs and gaining expert advice
A medical second opinion can help to confirm a diagnosis, which improves the accuracy of treatment. In recent years, many patients have sought a second opinion on their illness and treatment alternatives. Private and public insurance companies strive to reduce surgical expenses by recommending and requiring a second opinion before surgery. Therefore, second opinion in healthcare is proving to be a turnaround for both the healthcare giver and receiver.
Opportunities
- Pandemic acted as a market opportunity
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has fueled the medical second opinion sector substantially. The COVID 19 epidemic has raised demand for second opinions from physicians and health insurance companies. Physicians advise patients to seek a second opinion if there is a chance of improving disease detection and diagnosis. A second opinion is also recommended by health insurance companies to learn about insurance coverage for specific medical procedures.
Restraints/Challenges
- Strong resistance to medical second opinions
Taking secong opinions from a doctor or a physician in underdeveloped economies is highly discouraged and disregarded. It is treated and looked upon as a question upon the capacities and capabilities of the caregiver. Therefore, in economies such as Africa, taking a secong medical opinion is frowned upon and is sometimes, often treated as a taboo.
- Differences of opinion result in chaos
Every physician/caregiver/doctor has a different approach to a given medical situation. Differences of opinion and methods may result in creating chaos and confusion in the patient's mind. In many cases, contradictory modes of treatment can be employed. This affects the overall command of treatment. Therefore, the lack of clear-cut standards, especially in developing and underdeveloped economies, harms the overall industry.
