Webinar RecordingQuality Catalyst: eConsult Clinical Metrics Drive Better Patient Outcomes
Dr. Julia Jezmir, Chief Medical Officer at AristaMD, and Brandy Early, Clinical Engagement Manager at AristaMD, discuss best practices and key metrics for building and maintaining a high-quality eConsult program that improves patient care and lowers costs.
eConsults increase patient access to specialty care, minimize travel and reduce unnecessary in-person visits. The availability of specialist advice in the primary care setting can improve quality metrics by offering specialist guidance while minimizing the burden of accessing specialty care for the patient. At the same time, primary care practices need to assess the effectiveness and impact of using eConsults.
Dr. Julia Jezmir, Chief Medical Officer, and Brandy Early, RN, Clinical Engagement Manager of AristaMD, discuss eConsult clinical metrics for care delivery. In this video, you will learn what it takes to measure the clinical quality of an eConsult program, including:
- Best practices
- Common metrics
