The core team members of the DCIP are involved in monthly meetings to discuss all patients being considered for implantation. This internationally accepted practice is to ensure quality of care by combining knowledge; skills and expertise in a multi-disciplinary environment to ensure objective evaluation of implant candidacy and patient expectation.
Each prospective and if appropriate, previously implanted patient’s medical history, audiological assessment and radiological evaluation is discussed and suggestions are made regarding implant and electrode choice, method and timing of surgery and post-operative rehabilitation and therapy. All patient information is treated as strictly confidential.
