eConsult solutions enable clinicians, most often primary care providers (PCPs), to quickly and efficiently connect with specialists regarding a patient’s diagnosis and treatment. eConsults are most often conducted asynchronously, with PCPs and specialists connecting via secure platforms to exchange messages and clinical information. Vendors in this category provide a variety of benefits to provider organizations and patients, including the elimination of unnecessary specialist referrals, quicker access to specialty care, and increased support for primary care providers.
