Additionally, Best Doctors physicians and nurses will monitor patient care and recovery using ProVentive 2.0, a web-based care coordination system that provides a clinically useful and user-friendly environment for tracking patient interventions. ProVentive CEO James C. Fitchett commented, "I am excited about the opportunity to partner with Best Doctors.
