The question does come, “Well, when is the right time?”, And I would say that I would ask yourself when you’re considering whether it should be appropriate to have a nephrology referral either through an eConsult or in person. Does the patient have any comorbidities or unusual features that make you concerned that this is something that’s potentially rapidly progressive, certainly that would require an urgent in-person chronic kidney disease?
Topic Results for "Patient Outcomes"
Quality Catalyst: eConsult Containment Rates
eConsult containment means that the provider is equipped with the right recommendations to manage the patient’s care without referring the patient out. You’ll see that, of course, this varies according to specialty. So something like endocrinology is gonna have a high containment rate, and in our case, we see a 96% referral avoidance rate or containment rate. And that’s because most of these cases don’t need an in-person evaluation.

Quality Catalyst: eConsult Care Impact
We asked PCPs to rate the eConsult care impact—whether the consult they submitted and the response they received significantly impacted the patient’s care plan. For us, 90% say yes. Again, it’s critical to track this, especially if it drops, to figure out what may be happening there. I have a couple of examples of what that looks like here.
