Through Shannon’s membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network, its physicians have access to Mayo Clinic clinical solutions and services, including:
- AskMayoExpert: a database of concise clinical information on hundreds of medical conditions, and includes medical protocols, treatment recommendations and medical references.
- eConsults: physicians may contact Mayo Clinic specialists for second opinions on specific patient cases when they believe additional input will benefit their patients.
- eBoards: live videoconferences that enable medical teams to virtually review and discuss complex cases with a team of Mayo Clinic specialists and doctors from Mayo Clinic Care Network health systems.
- Health care consulting: access to Mayo’s experience, knowledge and subspecialty expertise to achieve clinical, operational and business goals.
Staff from Shannon can use Mayo Clinic educational materials designed for patients, and access opportunities for professional development and continuous medical education.
Created in 2011, the Mayo Clinic Care Network has more than 45 member organizations across the U.S. and in Asia, India, Mexico, and the Middle East.
