At present, E-consults are not available to providers outside the UNC Health System.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">E-consults are for focused clinical questions that a pulmonologist can answer using solely the information available in EPIC, without seeing the patient. E-consults are not for logistical questions or for questions that can be easily answered by consulting UpToDate or clinical guidelines. E-consults should not be used for patients who already have a clinic visit scheduled or have previously been seen by providers in our practice. Because specialists have two business days to respond, E-consults are not for emergencies.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some common questions that Pulmonology has received and successfully addressed through E-consults are:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>What is the appropriate imaging follow up for a lung nodule (or other abnormality)?<\/li>\n<li>What additional testing should be done to evaluate a cause for dyspnea?<\/li>\n<li>What is the next appropriate inhaled medication to add to this patient\u2019s regimen for uncontrolled symptoms?<\/li>\n<li>Is this medication appropriate for my patient, given their lung disease?<\/li>\n<li>What pulmonary function testing should be ordered based on my patient\u2019s symptoms?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please click here for more information about E-Consults, including how to place the order and the general workflow.
