E-consults give physicians and patients quicker access to specialists, improve patient experiences, help physicians find joy in medicine, streamline care, and eliminate system waste.1
Consult with your colleagues
The Los Angeles County Department of Health went live with an e-consult program in July 2012. Since then, the program has completed over 2 million e-consults with recent monthly e-consult volumes approximating 18,000.2
Share medical expertise on the fly
87% of e-consults are completed in less than 10 minutes.3
Avoid unnecessary office visits for specialty care
From April 2018 to October 2020, over 7,000 e-consults were placed across 28 adult health specialties . . . only 2.5% of answered e-consults resulted in an in-person visit within 30 days (indication of effectiveness).4
Save patients the inconvenience of travel time and distance
Between 2012-2018 the Veterans Health Administration completed 3,117,998 e-consults. By 2018, e-consults made up approximately 7% of all consults requested. Each e-consult was estimated to save 84.3 miles of travel, resulting in 170,658,048 fewer miles of patient travel over a 7-year period with cost-savings of $46 million for travel reimbursement.5
Recognize revenue for curbside consults
Most common interprofessional consultations have a value of 0.7 wRVU.6 Submitted charges for interprofessional consultations range from $110 to $150 per encounter.7
