Measuring Practice Success and Patient Care: eConsults Support Patient Compliance & Care Continuity
eConsults support patient compliance and care continuity by allowing the patient’s trusted PCP to develop and communicate the care plan. Compliance and continuity are reduced when patients fail to make an appointment or attend the specialist appointment. Only 51% of referrals are scheduled and attended within 90 days.
Measuring Practice Success and Patient Care: eConsults Improve Patient Outcomes
eConsults improve patient outcomes by enabling the PCP to offer a diagnosis and treatment plan an average of 19 days sooner than a referral. The majority of eConsults responses are sent back to the PCP between 4-6. AristaMD clients report a 30% reduction in ED visits, hospitalizations and readmissions after eConsult implementation.
Measuring Practice Success and Patient Care: eConsult Patient Benefits
eConsult patient benefits include patients save money with fewer copays, less travel expenses and reduced time off work; patient satisfaction improves when diagnosis and treatment are delivered quickly; equal access to specialty care increases because social and geographic challenges related to care are reduced; and outcomes also improve when patients receive treatment fast, avoid expensive emergency care, and experience better care continuity.
Measuring Practice Success and Patient Care: 20% of eConsults Report a New Diagnosis
After launching an eConsult program, referral trends should decline and stabilize once eConsults are being used regularly by your providers. Earlier, we reviewed a chart that showed a peak in eConsult usage. This peak is the ideal time to educate providers about additional specialties that eConsult can support. My team can provide sample use cases and common conditions during this period to improve cost savings and reduce the burden to patients that come with visiting a specialist in-person.
Measuring Practice Success and Patient Care
eConsults are proven to reduce specialty care costs for patients, providers and payers. eConsults also support value-based care in tangible and practical ways by creating a path to faster diagnosis and treatment; improving or eliminating wait times for specialists’ visits; increasing access to sub-specialties; and minimizing worsened health outcomes resulting from delayed patient care.
