Before a case is submitted to a Korean hospital, APIS reviews the available records to understand the diagnosis, treatment history, current condition, and purpose of the inquiry.

Based on this information, APIS identifies a hospital or department relevant to the inquiry and confirms whether the case can be submitted for hospital review or consultation.

APIS requests additional medical records or DICOM imaging files when the available information is insufficient.

This step is limited to case coordination. The hospital determines treatment eligibility and whether it will accept the case after clinical review.
