Satellite monitoring

Having scans and bloodwork locally while the main clinic directs the cycle.

Canadian healthcare & funding

Many Canadian clinics arrange for monitoring at a local hospital, laboratory or partner clinic, with results sent to the treating clinic daily. This reduces travel for everything except retrieval and transfer. Confirm in advance who bills for monitoring visits and how results are transmitted.

Also known as: local monitoring, shared care
