Upon medical evaluation at their local hospital, the infant was diagnosed with craniosynostosis, a congenital disorder characterized by premature fusion of cranial sutures leading to a misshapen skull and potential brain growth restriction. Milo required major surgery to address his condition, but due to the scarcity of specialized healthcare services in their region, particularly for such a complex procedure, the family could not access the necessary medical expertise. Desperate for support, Jordan researched her son's condition and located a children's hospital with a top-ranked Craniofacial surgeon. Yet, the facility was nearly one thousand miles away from their hometown, and due to financial constraints, such as the cost of transportation, lodging, and time off from work, Jordan doubted their ability to make the trip across the country for the surgical evaluation. She worried that even if they could get there, what would happen if her son was not a good candidate for the surgery? It was not a realistic option for them to visit multiple hospitals in person to receive second opinions, and she felt stuck. Jordan’s story represents the struggle of many Americans to access quality medical care for their children without facing significant geographic and financial barriers. For this reason, many families seek answers closer to home, instead of receiving care from top experts, which can reduce positive healthcare outcomes.

The licensure process is burdensome and expensive, effectively impeding all but the most determined physician from seeking this legal authority to practice beyond his or her state’s borders. ![Les Trachtman, EE, JD, MBA](https://www.purview.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Les%20Trachtman%20Circle%20BW.png?width=45&name=Les%20Trachtman%20Circle%20BW.png) [Les Trachtman, EE, JD, MBA](https://www.purview.net/blog/author/les-trachtman) [Read More](https://www.purview.net/blog/the-legal-reality-of-issuing-second-opinions-for-out-of-state-patients) ![](https://www.purview.net/hubfs/HealthAccess_sm.jpg) [Hospitals,](https://www.purview.net/blog/topic/hospitals) [Second Opinions,](https://www.purview.net/blog/topic/second-opinions) [Healthcare Technology](https://www.purview.net/blog/topic/healthcare-technology) ### [Ready to Launch Your Second Opinion Program? What to Expect When Preparing for 'Go-Live'](https://www.purview.net/blog/what-to-expect-implementation-rso) Mar 22, 2023, 12:23:26 PM Congratulations! Your institution has considered the [countless benefits](https://www.purview.net/blog/is-your-hospital-ready-for-a-second-opinion-program) of offering a Remote Second Opinion (RSO) program, such as improved patient access and increased geographic reach. Your team is undoubtedly ready to jump into planning out the best program for your patients and providers. While it can be easy and exciting to visualize your RSO program helping patients, the process of getting to your go-live date can feel overwhelming. Your team may be asking big-picture questions such as: “How do I start a Remote Second Opinion program?” “What stakeholders need to be involved in the RSO implementation process?” “How long will the implementation of my RSO program take?”  [Sonia Fantz](https://www.purview.net/blog/author/sonia-fantz) [Read More](https://www.purview.net/blog/what-to-expect-implementation-rso) ![](https://www.purview.net/hubfs/01_Graphics/Images/Stock%20images/Team%20of%20business%20people%20collaborate%20holding%20up%20jigsaw%20puzzle%20pieces%20as%20a%20solution%20to%20a%20problem.jpeg) [Second Opinions,](https://www.purview.net/blog/topic/second-opinions) [Oncology](https://www.purview.net/blog/topic/oncology) ### [Collaboration - A Modern Necessity For Targeted Cancer Treatment?](https://www.purview.net/blog/collaboration-a-modern-necessity-for-targeted-cancer-treatment) Mar 2, 2023, 4:15:23 PM Cancer continues to be the second leading cause of death, with an estimated 1.9 million new diagnoses and 609,360 cancer deaths in the United States in 2022, according to the [American Cancer Society](https://www.cancer.org/research/cancer-facts-statistics/all-cancer-facts-figures/cancer-facts-figures-2022.html#:~:text=The%20Facts%20%26%20Figures%20annual%20report,deaths%20in%20the%20United%20States.\)). This statistic alone is astounding, with the number - 1.9 million -rivaling the population size of our largest cities. It would be like the entire population of Philadelphia being diagnosed with cancer or nearly all of Washington, D.C. passing away from it. And we are only talking about one year. ![Samantha Winters](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/8f52a7a18c8815b38334ed5baccc850a) [Samantha Winters](https://www.purview.net/blog/author/samantha-winters) [Read More](https://www.purview.net/blog/collaboration-a-modern-necessity-for-targeted-cancer-treatment) [1](https://www.purview.net/blog) [2](https://www.purview.net/blog/topic/second-opinions/page/2) [3](https://www.purview.net/blog/topic/second-opinions/page/3) [4](https://www.purview.net/blog/topic/second-opinions/page/4) [5](https://www.purview.net/blog/topic/second-opinions/page/5) ![image1](https://www.purview.net/hs-fs/hubfs/image1.png?width=300&height=40&name=image1.png) #### About Purview [About Us](https://www.purview.net/about) [News](https://www.purview.net/news) #### Solutions [Expert View™](https://www.purview.net/expertview) [Expert View™ Demo](https://www.purview.net/scale-with-second-opinions-demonstration) [Purview Image™](https://www.purview.net/image) [Purview Image™ Demo](https://www.purview.net/image#Five-Min-Demo) #### Resources [Blog](https://www.purview.net/blog) [Events](https://www.purview.net/webinars) [Customer Stories](https://www.purview.net/user-stories) #### Support [Contact Support](https://www.purview.net/contact-us) [Contact Us](https://www.purview.net/contact-us) [Sales](https://www.purview.net/contact-us) [![facebook-purview](https://www.purview.net/hs-fs/hubfs/facebook-purview.png?width=30&height=30&name=facebook-purview.png)](https://www.facebook.com/PurviewImages) [![linkedin-purview](https://www.purview.net/hs-fs/hubfs/linkedin-purview.png?width=26&height=25&name=linkedin-purview.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/purview) © 2026 PURVIEW All Rights Reserved [Privacy Policies](https://www.purview.net/privacypolicy) [Terms of Service](https://www.purview.net/hubfs/Purview%20Terms%20of%20Service.pdf) ![](https://px.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=1516546&fmt=gif)   ### Title Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
