The use of eConsults to improve access to specialty care in thrombosis medicine.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Electronic consultations (eConsults) are asynchronous, consultative electronic-based communications that are aimed to improve efficient and timely access to specialist advice. Our study aim was to evaluate the use and impact of the Canadian Champlain BASE™ (Building Access to Specialists through eConsultation) eConsult service in the specialty of thrombosis medicine. METHODS:We conducted a cross-sectional study that included descriptive statistics of provider and patient demographic information and consultative-specific data. The impact of eConsults on primary care provider (PCP) referral patterns and satisfaction was assessed using a mandatory close-out survey upon completion of each eConsult. RESULTS:There were 162 thrombosis eConsult cases completed between June 2012 and March 2016. The most common referral topics were for thrombophilia testing, management of superficial vein thrombosis, and the choice and duration of anticoagulation for venous thromboembolism. By completing an eConsult, PCPs reported 47.5% of face-to-face consultations were avoided, and 4.3% prompted a thrombosis referral that was not originally contemplated. Primary care providers' responses to a thrombosis eConsult service were overwhelmingly positive, which included appreciation for timely access for patients, expert guidance and providing additional educational opportunities. CONCLUSION:An eConsult service in thrombosis medicine improved timely access to specialist advice and potentially reduces the number of face-to-face consultations needed. Further research is needed to understand how a thrombosis eConsult service affects thrombosis clinic performance data and patient outcomes.
