RUHS primary care clinics are kicking off the new year on the right foot, having processed 1,452 eConsults this month alone, and 13,532 eConsults total.
Exciting Trends
Achieving Our Goals
By coordinating with 34 specialist reviewers across 16 specialties via eConsult, 116 providers at 19 RUHS clinic sites succeeded in resolving many cases without the need for an in-person visit in January.
About one third of all eConsults for endocrinology and hepatology services were settled by entirely virtual means this month!
