The typical process for requesting the consult includes a brief explanation of the patient’s chief complaint and background. You want to note all of those things as it’s sudden onset. For example, you’re going to attach the documentation that that’s relevant. You don’t have to attach everything, but what’s relevant to this particular patient and this particular photo of the wound?

When to request a wound care eConsult
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.
