Specialists participating in the Ontario eConsult Program are committed to improving access to specialty care in Ontario and reducing wait times for patients. All specialists are vetted prior to enrolling as consulting specialists in the service and are expected to provide collegial and educational responses to eConsults in less than 7 business days. Currently, the median response time in Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant (HNHB) region is less than one day.
Specialists who participate in a Provincial or HNHB BASE™ Managed Specialty Groups are recruited, have over 5 years of experience in their specialty and indicate a desire to contribute to knowledge sharing and education with primary care providers.
In addition, the HITS eHealth Office oversees these groups, which means we’re able to support if response times are delayed due to specialist unavailability or you’re finding a particular specialist isn’t providing high quality responses.
