This is especially true for patients with mildly abnormal thyroid function tests for whom referring providers are asking whether treatment\/workup is needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/directory\/spencer-d-dorn-md-mph-mha\/\">Spencer Dorn<\/a><\/strong>, MD, MPH, MHA, associate professor of medicine in the division of gastroenterology and hepatology, and vice chair for care innovation, led the launch of eConsults last year. He says eConsults are far more convenient because the referring clinician and specialist do not need to know each other nor be available at the same place and time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201ceConsults enable specialists to review relevant clinical information before formally documenting their recommendations in the electronic health record. Patients receive expert recommendations quickly, without the time, travel, and cost of a clinic visit. Referring clinicians can expand their scope of practice and coordinate care more closely. And, by reducing unnecessary in-person consultations, eConsults free-up specialists to evaluate patients with more complicated conditions and perform procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All UNC physicians and advanced practice providers can use Epic to request an\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/patient-care\/econsults\/\">eConsult<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0from any UNC Department of Medicine specialty, including allergy and immunology, cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology and hepatology, geriatrics, hematology, infectious diseases, nephrology, oncology, pulmonary, and rheumatology. Within two business days, specialists will make specific recommendations. The average turnaround is 1.7 days, and 77% of the time the consult can be answered without seeing the patient in clinic.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about eConsults, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/patient-care\/econsults\/\">https:\/\/go.unc.edu\/econsults<\/a>\u00a0to learn more.
