E-consults are available to any 黑料网 Health physician or advanced practice provider. At present, E-consults are not available to providers outside the 黑料网 Health System.<\/p>\n

E-consults are for focused clinical questions that a rheumatologist can answer using solely the information available in EPIC, without seeing the patient. E-consults are not a mechanism for moving up clinic appointments or for questions that can be easily answered by consulting UpToDate or clinical guidelines.<\/p>\n

Because specialists have two business days to respond, E-consults are not for emergencies. Additionally, E-consults should not be used to ask follow-up questions for patients who have been previously seen by providers in our practice.<\/p>\n
