Improving Patient Access to Hospital Pharmacists Using eConsults: Retrospective Descriptive Study

In a 2015 systematic review by Vimalananda et al [10], 27 studies on e Consult services were reviewed. The authors found high levels of provider satisfaction (70%-95%), faster replies (less than 3 days), and a decline in specialist referrals. Barriers to implementing an e Consult tool include low levels of patient engagement and awareness, staff inexperience and limited availability, and lack of suitability for all patient groups and financial obstacles [7].

An example e Consult is shown in Textbox 1, with a standard disclaimer included at the end of every e Consult in Textbox 2. Response time is expected within 3 business days (72 hours) and both the request and response become part of the patient’s EHR.
