What Hospitals and Physicians Determine
APIS coordinates communication and document submission with Korean hospitals. Clinical decisions remain with the treating hospital and physicians.
The hospital determines:
- The diagnosis and treatment indication
- Whether the case can proceed to consultation or treatment
- Whether particle therapy is appropriate
- The treatment method and treatment priority
- Whether the hospital will accept the case
- The expected treatment outcome and follow-up requirements
The patient’s current treating physician should determine whether the patient is medically fit for international travel.
The Korean hospital can request additional records, direct the case to another department, or conclude that the proposed treatment is not appropriate.
APIS communicates the hospital’s requirements, review result, and next steps to the patient or referring professional.
