CARDIAC DECISION SUPPORT FOR EMPLOYERS

YOUR INCISION SHOULD BE YOUR DECISION™

Give employees clarity when a cardiac decision becomes high stakes.

A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist independently review one complete record, confer, and co-sign a patient-facing report—giving the member a clearer next conversation without taking the decision away from them or their treating team.

A FOCUSED BENEFIT

The employer opens a door.
The member keeps the decision.

Cardiac surgery decisions can bring clinical complexity, family stress, time away from work, and large downstream consequences. The useful employer role is not to choose a procedure. It is to make independent, specialty-specific clarity easier to reach.

WHITEGLOVEMD creates a structured path from the initial question to a complete record, two physician perspectives, one understandable report, and a more informed conversation with the treating team.

WHY THIS MODEL IS DIFFERENT

Depth before scale.
Evidence before ROI.

The program is built around a defined high-stakes decision and a measurable member journey—not a broad promise that every second opinion creates savings.

01

A narrow specialty, deeply reviewed.

The service begins with cardiac surgery and structural-heart decisions—cases where anatomy, operative strategy, catheter options, risk, and longitudinal care must be considered together.

02

A member experience built around the decision.

Records support, independent physician review, a patient-facing report, and an optional live consultation create one coherent path instead of another directory or generic referral.

03

An implementation model that can start focused.

Eligibility, funding, service tiers, communications, escalation paths, and reporting are scoped to the population and benefit strategy rather than assumed from a standard package.

04

Measurement designed before the claims are made.

Utilization, turnaround, decision change, member experience, and downstream outcomes can be defined up front. Cost analysis is only performed when the necessary data and methodology are available.

THE MEMBER JOURNEY

One question in.
One coherent path through.

The member sees a coordinated service. The employer sees only the program information permitted by the agreed privacy and reporting model.

  1. 01

    A member reaches a real person

    The employee or family can begin with a complimentary orientation. No referral or medical records are required for that first conversation.

  2. 02

    The complete record is assembled

    The member uploads what they have and can authorize the records team to help identify and request the notes, reports, tests, and source imaging required for review.

  3. 03

    Two physicians review independently

    A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist examine the same complete case from different clinical perspectives, then confer around the decision.

  4. 04

    One usable report comes back

    The member receives a co-signed WHITEGLOVE Insights™ report built for the next conversation with the clinicians responsible for their care.

  5. 05

    Follow-through can be measured

    When included in the program design and permitted by the member, follow-up can document the final care path and the outcomes or experience measures selected with the employer.

WHITEGLOVE Insights™

The member receives something they can use.

A clear, patient-facing map of the decision—built from the record, reviewed by a cardiac surgeon and cardiologist, and designed for the next conversation with the treating team.

Current clinical picture

The diagnosis, relevant history, testing, and treatment plan already proposed—clearly attributed to the source record.

02

Heart Team perspective

Where the cardiac surgeon and cardiologist agree, where uncertainty remains, and what deserves discussion.

03

Guideline context

The decision placed beside current guidelines and the clinical details that make them relevant.

04

Risk in context

Applicable validated models, visible source inputs, limitations, and factors the estimates may not fully capture.

05

Reasonable paths

Surgical, catheter-based, minimally invasive, medical, or surveillance options when they are supported by the documented case.

06

Practical next questions

A concise handoff for the member, family, and treating team—including missing information and next conversations.

PROGRAM DESIGN

Define the operating model before announcing the benefit.

A practical scope answers six questions before launch. That makes the member promise, privacy model, implementation work, and evaluation criteria explicit.

Scope a program
01

Population

Company-wide access, an executive population, a defined eligibility group, or an on-demand pathway.

02

Funding

Employer-sponsored, shared-cost, or member-paid access—subject to the agreed service and contract.

03

Service level

Written review, live physician consultation, concierge follow-through, or a defined combination.

04

Member entry

Benefits navigation, a direct campaign, care-management referral, or a dedicated program link.

05

Reporting

A privacy-preserving cadence, agreed measures, minimum-cell rules when relevant, and a clear definition of what the employer will not receive.

06

Evaluation

A pilot or staged launch with success measures established before expansion.

MEASUREMENT WITH INTEGRITY

Decide what counts before counting value.

The measurement plan should distinguish service activity, member experience, final care decisions, clinical outcomes, and economic analysis. They are related—but they are not interchangeable.

01Access

Eligible population, referrals, completed orientations, reviews initiated, and reviews completed.

02Service

Record-collection time, completeness, clinical turnaround after the record is complete, and service-tier use.

03Decision

The plan documented at intake, the Heart Team’s educational review, and the member-reported or documented final pathway when available.

04Experience

Member-reported clarity, satisfaction, and ability to discuss the decision with the treating team.

05Outcome

Selected follow-up measures only when the member consents and the required clinical or claims data are available.

06Economics

Any cost or savings analysis uses an agreed methodology and actual available data—not a generic calculator presented as realized ROI.

Program reporting is subject to the contracted scope, member permissions, applicable privacy requirements, available data, and agreed methodology.

A DELIBERATE START

Start focused. Learn what members need. Scale what works.

A staged program can define a population, member entry point, service level, communications plan, privacy model, reporting cadence, and evaluation period before expanding.

EMPLOYER FAQ

Questions worth answering before launch.

Program details are not inferred from a template. They are defined with the employer, benefit sponsor, and relevant legal, privacy, security, clinical, and implementation stakeholders.

What is the WHITEGLOVEMD employer benefit?

It is an independent cardiac decision-support service that can be offered to an eligible employee or family member. A cardiac surgeon and cardiologist review the complete record independently, confer, and co-sign one patient-facing WHITEGLOVE Insights™ report. Live consultation and concierge follow-through can be included depending on the program design.

Which employees or dependents can use the service?

Eligibility is defined with the employer or benefit sponsor. A program may cover a broad employee population, dependents, an executive group, a defined clinical population, or an on-demand pathway. The scope is documented before launch.

How is an employer program priced?

Employer pricing is scoped to eligibility, expected access, funding model, selected service levels, implementation needs, and reporting requirements. WHITEGLOVEMD does not publish a universal per-employee price because the program should be defined before it is quoted. Request a conversation for a written scope.

Does an employer make or influence the medical decision?

No. The employer does not direct the clinical review or choose a treatment. WHITEGLOVEMD provides educational decision support to the member, and the clinicians responsible for the member’s care retain responsibility for diagnosis, candidacy, treatment, and follow-up.

What health information does the employer receive?

The program design should define a privacy-preserving reporting model. An employer does not receive an individual member’s medical record or report through ordinary program reporting. Any identifiable disclosure requires an appropriate legal basis and authorization. Aggregation thresholds and permitted measures are addressed during contracting.

Does this require a benefits-platform or health-plan integration?

Not necessarily. A focused program can begin with a dedicated access and communication pathway. If eligibility, navigation, claims, or reporting integrations are desired, the required data, permissions, security review, ownership, and implementation work are scoped before launch.

How does the medical-record process work?

The member uploads what they have and can authorize the records team to help identify and request missing notes, reports, testing, and source imaging. The 24-hour medical-review window begins only after the records and imaging required for that case have been received and confirmed complete.

Can the service work with an existing navigation or second-opinion benefit?

Potentially. WHITEGLOVEMD can be evaluated as a focused cardiac pathway, a referral destination, or a complementary service. The operating model, ownership of the member journey, data exchange, and communication language must be defined with the existing vendor and benefit sponsor.

How are outcomes and value measured?

Measures can include access, completion, turnaround, decision change, member experience, and selected follow-up outcomes. Claims or cost analysis is only appropriate when the necessary data, comparison method, time horizon, and attribution rules are agreed. WHITEGLOVEMD does not present projected savings as realized results.

How quickly can an employer program launch?

Timing depends on the scope. A focused access pathway may require less coordination than a funded program with eligibility files, legal and security review, communications, reporting, or claims analysis. WHITEGLOVEMD provides an implementation plan after the program decisions and required reviews are known.

Does WHITEGLOVEMD replace the employee’s surgeon or cardiologist?

No. The service is independent educational decision support and medical-record review. It does not replace the treating cardiologist, surgeon, hospital, or emergency services and does not establish procedure candidacy or direct treatment.

What should a member do with urgent symptoms?

Call 911 or seek immediate emergency care for new or severe chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting, stroke symptoms, or rapid worsening. An employer benefit or online record review must never delay urgent evaluation.
