Back to customer servicesPatients and families facing a major decision

Understand one report and prepare clear appointment questions.

Basic support: explain terms and research for one defined question about available records, and prepare visit questions. Major treatment-route comparisons need a separately scoped case commission.

How does this scope address your concerns?

I need a checkable explanation draft and clear notice that records are not individually reviewed by a clinician. I must not use it to decide treatment.

When this scope fits
  • One report or defined record question to understand and discuss
  • Acceptance of an automated draft and clear clinical limits
When the scope needs adjusting
  • Formal route comparisons for cancer, rare conditions, serious complex illness, overseas care or differing clinical opinions
  • Individual clinician review, diagnosis, prescribing or emergency care

Report, evidence and visit questions

01Current eGFR

55 is a fictional report value; source page to be linked

02Earlier trend

Not supplied; do not assume a persistent abnormality

03Urine ACR

Not supplied; missing does not mean normal

04Chronicity

KDIGO cautions against assuming chronicity from a single abnormal result

The report value is entirely fictional. This shows how missingness is labelled. Explanation references KDIGO 2024 Practice Point 1.1.3.2.

Scope & acceptance

Work covered by the quote

  • One patient and one defined question
  • Up to 20 record pages and 5 lawful reference sources
  • One clarification round; a 30-day download window
  • A self-service draft, excluding diagnosis, prescriptions, and emergency assessment
  • Pilot proposal: CNY 99 per request, paid once after scope confirmation.
  • Charges end with delivery; no automatic subscription
  • A new question or record batch requires scope confirmation before any extra charge
  • Service specification and delivery example; paid generation and real-record intake are not open
  • Basis: the current One-time Evidence Explanation specification. Medical statements require task-specific records and original-source checks; the specification is not evidence of clinical effects.

Acceptance criteria

  • Key information is traceable to records or literature. Known information, missing items, and unanswered questions are distinguished. Acceptance does not require a definitive diagnosis.

Checking the evidence

  • Retain identifiable original sources, authorised inputs and missing information.

01 / WORKFLOW PREVIEW

What you provide

Start with one question and an overview of your records. Submit records within scope only after authorized record intake opens. This demonstration does not collect real medical records.

Methods, sources and professional responsibilities
THE BASIS FOR THIS SCOPE

Why this approach? Inspect the basis.

Consequential treatment decisions need both research evidence and a review of whether it applies to you.

OFFICIAL GUIDANCE

NCI · Cancer Treatment

National Cancer Institute / NIH

Cancer treatment options and clinical trials

Explore treatment types, treatment questions and clinical trials, then identify choices to discuss with the treating team.

Scope & access conditions

Public patient information cannot determine your best treatment. Pathology, stage, prior treatment and professional assessment remain necessary.

Recheck applicability when conditions coexist

Single-condition evidence may come from populations with fewer coexisting conditions. Consider treatment burden, goals, benefits and harms.

Scope & access conditions

This supports the need to review applicability; it does not establish the effectiveness of a new treatment strategy.

What to assessMedlinePlusEvidence OS · Commissioned scope
Service focusNLM/NIH provides free readable information about conditions, tests and medicines.Use authorised records to retain source positions, missing information and appointment questions for one issue.
When to chooseStart with official information for general terms and health education.One patient, one clearly defined question, up to 20 pages of records and 5 reference sources that may be lawfully used; includes one round of clarification about the records.
What the fee pays for
CNY 99 per request. No automatic renewal. Deliverables include a 30-day download window. New questions or a new batch of records require scope confirmation first.
Value beyond this task
A list of questions to bring to your clinician. Charges end when this deliverable is complete. Missing records are not filled in with invented normal values.
How to assess value
Check responses to the agreed questions, traceable sources, record gaps and differing opinions. For overseas routes, also check incremental services and third-party fees. Clinical outcomes are not consulting acceptance criteria.

A basic support product, not a replacement for a scoped major-decision commission. A self-service generated draft; individual human medical review, diagnosis, prescriptions, and emergency assessment are not included.

Reuse and updates after delivery
  • Keep the sourced summary and choose whether to share it with your clinician. It is communication material, not a diagnostic certificate.

Agree reuse rights, retention and export periods, and future update fees when scoping.

Questions before commissioning

Can this replace major-decision consulting?

No. CNY99 covers a bounded automated explanation draft, without case-specific professional review, evidence-applicability comparisons across routes or a formal clinical opinion. A major treatment choice needs a defined case scope.

Will this decide my treatment?

No. It helps you understand existing records and prepare questions. Your treating team decides care.

Does CNY 99 include a clinician checking every record?

No. This is an automated draft. Specialist review requires separate confirmation of reviewers and scope.

Will I keep being charged afterwards?

There is no automatic renewal. New questions, new records, or ongoing maintenance are separate choices.

Define the delivery for your actual question.

Add your goal, available inputs and timing. Agree scope, review responsibilities and a quote before commissioning.

After a cancer diagnosis, several treatment routes sound reasonable. How should we compare them?

Proposed delivery: patient-specific evidence comparison for this choice, clinician and family materials, and consultation questions.
