       Why Collective Intelligence Matters?

Audio Version

Greetings!   

Three smart people working together generate better solutions and outcomes than three smart people working alone.

 

That is the power of "collective intelligence".

 

This is how it applies.

 

Valerie is a 52 year old business manager with severe unremitting abdominal pain following many surgeries. She had severe (8/10) pain with any motion. Her pain medications were not working. She was put on a year long waiting list for a pain consultation. She felt defeated and wanted her life back again.

 

By seeking advice from a number of experts in different fields, we were able to quickly develop three solid options for Val.

 

These options included the use of a dorsal column neuro-stimulator, the scrambler TT, a new non-invasive device for treating neuropathic pain and, a coeliac plexus block.

 

By having managed the complex problems of many hundreds of clients, we have developed an "advanced practice" in collaboration.

 

RCM's team approach, the use of sophisticated IT systems and access to our diverse expert network, enables decisions that consider multiple and varied perspectives.

 

Our objective is to deliver the "collective" intelligence of RCM's TOP DOCS network to benefit our clients.

The Diversity Of Opinions Is The Secret Sauce

Many patients are fearful of second or third opinions. However, this diversity of opinions is the "secret sauce" that forces us to go deeper and hopefully make better decisions.

 

Each client at RCM has a virtual team working for him/her. Even if members of the virtual team are in different cities in different time zones, there is an effective collaborative effort underway. RCM's virtual teams put "collective intelligence" to work for our clients.

 

In fact, a recent management study of virtual teams in 31 companies including Intel and Royal Dutch/Shell showed that virtual teams are, surprisingly, more productive and more innovative than face-to-face teams.

 

Virtual teams find productive ways to communicate, to innovate, to partner and tap into the power of "collective intelligence".

 

Our goal is to take our processes relating to "collective intelligence" to the next level to benefit our current and future clients.
