Optimizing COPD Care Pathways with eConsults
Explore how eConsults can optimize COPD care pathways by improving access to specialists, enhancing treatment decisions, and fostering better coordination between healthcare providers for improved patient outcomes.
Transforming Diagnoses and Enhancing Clinical Quality
eConsults are a key clinical innovation that can assist in addressing inequities in access to specialty care. One of the critical aspects where eConsults have significantly elevated care impact is improving patient outcomes. Through eConsults, healthcare providers can collaborate more efficiently, leading to faster and more accurate diagnoses, timely treatment interventions, and better management of chronic conditions. This results in improved patient health outcomes, reduced hospital readmissions, and enhanced quality of life.
The Emerging Role of GLP-1 Agonists in Treating Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Patients often have limited access to wound services because 90% of wound and ostomy nurses work in hospitals. However, these limitations are overcome with the use of photos and videos provided by the in-person provider to Corstrata wound care nurses.
Managing Lower Extremity Wounds with eConsults

Common Challenges to Achieve Clinical Quality Goals: Containment
Containment in healthcare involves equipping providers with the appropriate recommendations to effectively manage a patient’s care within their practice, without the need for unnecessary referrals or consultations outside of the practice. This is particularly important in ensuring efficient resource utilization and reducing healthcare costs while maintaining high-quality care.
How to Launch an eConsult Program – Successfully
The biggest challenge is getting your doctors excited about using this new technology. A successful eConsult launch educates and engages physicians on the benefits to them and their patients. Doctors want to provide the best care for their patients.
Evaluate Practice Performance Metrics for eConsult Programs: Measuring Practice Cost Savings
eConsults drive practice cost savings for your practices by replacing referrals, eliminating unnecessary testing, reducing emergency room visits and avoiding hospital readmissions. An eConsult that avoids a specialty referral results in 3 avoided specialty visits, which is the average number of appointments needed to diagnose and treat a patient. Each specialty visit costs approximately $300. The avoided visit savings to an at-risk practice is $900.
Evaluate Practice Performance Metrics for eConsult Programs: Measuring Clinical Quality
Multiple studies have shown that improved access to specialty advice and preventative care decreases the incidence of disease and patient mortality, resulting in improved clinical quality. By addressing health problems before they require emergency intervention, both patients and the health system save money and see better outcomes.
Evaluate Practice Performance Metrics for eConsult Programs: Measuring eConsult Patient Benefits
eConsults patient benefits include cost savings, less travel, reduced time off work, faster diagnosis and treatment, and improved outcomes.
Specialist eConsults Enable Faster Diagnosis and Treatment
Specialist eConsults allow providers to offer faster treatment, avoid contraindications, and reduce the burden of care for patients.
Evaluate Practice Performance Metrics for eConsult Programs: Measuring Patient Access to Specialty Care
To increase patient access to specialty care, consider which specialties that have long appointment wait times, higher costs, conditions easily manage by the PCP, or do not require a face-to-face specialist visit.
Improving Patient Outcomes: How Specialists will Contribute to Value-Based Care
In healthcare, the shift towards value-based care is reshaping how providers deliver and patients receive medical services. At the heart of this transformation are specialists. This approach is not just a change in the reimbursement model; it’s a fundamental reimagining of how we define and achieve success in healthcare. Specialists will play a critical role in the realm of value-based care.
Evaluate Practice Performance Metrics for eConsult Programs: Measuring Provider Adoption
Practice performance metrics are in focus whenever a new tool is introduced to improve patient care. In this series, we’ll focus on practice success and patient care when adopting or maintaining an eConsult program. Many of these strategies apply to increasing the adoption of any new technology or program.
Patient Education for Informed Decision-Making
In today’s complex world of healthcare, it’s more important than ever for people to have the knowledge they need to make wise decisions about their well-being. Patient education is a key part of this process, and it’s about more than just passing along information.
Targeting Healthcare Cost Savings? Focus on High-Value eConsults
At-risk practices that focus on high-value eConsults see the greatest benefits from their eConsult programs — healthcare cost savings and improved patient outcomes. These practices identify patients at high risk of serious health events, such as emergency department visits or inpatient hospitalizations, and prevent them.
