OUR MISSION
Where Complexity Meets Clarity
The Center for Complex Cases (CCC) was established to address the needs of patients whose conditions require a more comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management. As part of Florence Nightingale Healthcare’s tertiary academic network, the CCC brings together experienced specialists, advanced diagnostic capabilities, and evidence-based approaches under one roof.
Diagnostic Excellence
Advanced molecular diagnostics, rare disease genomics, and AI-assisted imaging interpretation support more accurate and timely diagnoses for patients who have experienced prolonged diagnostic uncertainty.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration
Weekly tumor boards, complex case conferences, and integrated care pathways ensure every patient benefits from the collective intelligence of our specialist faculty.
Academic Innovation
As a tertiary teaching center, our clinicians drive research, publish f indings, and translate bench discoveries into bedside therapies for tomorrow's standards of care.
CLINICAL SERVICES
Specialized Programs
The CCC coordinates expert panels across the following domains, tailoring individualized care plans for each patient's unique clinical picture.
Rare & Undiagnosed Disease Program
Systematic evaluation for patients with longstanding diagnostic uncertainty, leveraging whole-exome sequencing, metabolic panels, and rare disease specialist panels.
Complex Oncology Board
Multidisciplinary tumor board reviews for rare cancers, refractory malignancies, and patients requiring complex multimodal treatment strategies including clinical trial access.
Neurological & Neurovascular Complexity
This center provides neuro-intensive evaluation for atypical presentations, autoimmune encephalopathies, refractory epilepsy, and complex cerebrovascular conditions.
Multisystem Inflammatory Disorders
Expert rheumatology, immunology, and hematology panels for conditions crossing organ boundaries — lupus, vasculitis, HLH, and systemic inflammatory syndromes.
Cardiovascular Complex Case Unit
Advanced heart failure, complex arrhythmias, pulmonary hypertension, and structural heart disease are managed by a dedicated interventional and electrophysiology faculty.
Critical Care & Post-ICU Complexity
Rehabilitation, organ-support weaning strategies, and longitudinal followup for patients with prolonged ICU courses and post-intensive care syndrome.
OUR APPROACH
Structured Around the Patient, Not the Specialty
At the CCC, we reject a fragmented model of care in which subspecialties operate in isolation. Every patient is assigned a dedicated Case Navigator who coordinates the full journey of care — from the first referral to long-term follow-up. Our academic infrastructure allows us to draw on relevant research, specialist expertise, and international networks when further input is needed.
Referral & Care Journey
-
Referral & Triage
- Referring physicians submit a comprehensive clinical summary. Our triage team responds within 72 hours with an intake plan or specialist match.
-
Integrated Case Review
- A cross-specialty panel reviews all prior records, imaging, and labs before the patient's first visit — eliminating redundant workup and accelerating diagnosis.
-
Individualized Care Plan
- A written care plan is delivered to both patient and referring physician within one week of evaluation, with clear diagnostic hypotheses and next steps.
-
Longitudinal Coordination
- The Case Navigator remains the single point of contact for updates, new results, and care transitions — including coordination with the primary provider.
