This book presents the findings of the highly respected eight-year Cornell-New York Hospital second opinion elective surgery program. The study covered 470,000 people in voluntary second opinion programs and an additional 273,000 people through a health insurance program mandating consultation. The authors present evidence that second opinion programs can effect significant medical cost reductions, even while enhancing the quality of care.
