What is the four-stage care journey in AskMD?

AskMD guides you through a structured care journey:

1. Search — You describe your concern or question; AskMD helps clarify what you're experiencing
2. Assess — AskMD performs a clinical evaluation, identifying possible causes and relevant factors
3. Manage — AskMD helps you find the right care — the appropriate type of provider, in-network options, and next steps
4. Outcome — AskMD supports tracking what happened and what comes next in your care

Not every conversation goes through all four stages — it depends on what you ask.
