Clinical review standards
A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently review the required records and imaging, then co-sign one patient-facing report.
The method keeps the case material, physician interpretation, uncertainty, and service boundaries visible.
No referral or records are needed to request a complimentary call.
Clinical judgment remains with the reviewing physicians.
Clinical rigor is not a claim about perfection.
It is a method for keeping evidence, physician judgment, uncertainty, and responsibility visible.Four review checks
Each check protects a different part of the written opinion—from the material reviewed to the physicians who sign it.
Required material first
Required records and imaging are identified around the clinical question. If something needed is missing, collection continues before physician review.
Independent specialty reads
The cardiac surgeon and cardiologist review the required records and imaging independently before their findings are brought together.
Visible limits
Documented findings, clinical interpretation, missing information, and unresolved questions remain distinguishable in the written report.
Physician signoff
Both reviewing physicians review the patient-facing written opinion and co-sign the version delivered to the patient.
WHITEGLOVE Insights™ILLUSTRATIVE STRUCTUREEvidence with context
The report is designed to separate what the materials document, how the physicians interpret it, and what still needs clarification.
The relevant history, testing, imaging, diagnoses, and proposed plan in the materials reviewed.
The clinical meaning the cardiac surgeon and cardiologist draw from those materials.
Relevant published evidence can add context when it fits the question and the available record.
Missing information, limitations, tradeoffs, and questions to take back to the treating team.
Published evidence is context—not a replacement for physician judgment or the treating team’s decisions.
Risk, with its limits visible
The current procedure-appropriate STS ACSD operative-risk estimate is considered when applicable, with verified inputs, the calculation date, missing data, and model limitations made visible. Other models are discussed only when documented in the source record.
A model is considered only when it fits the proposed procedure and the required inputs are available.
Verified inputs, the calculation date, and missing data are shown with the estimate.
The estimate is interpreted as context, not as a prediction of one person’s outcome.
Integrity boundaries
These boundaries define who owns the clinical judgment, where records belong, and what the review can—and cannot—do.
Technology may assist with record organization and structured preparation. The assigned physicians remain responsible for the clinical interpretation and final report.
