EpicCare Link and eConsults
eConsults
An eConsult is a non-urgent asynchronous electronic consultation request initiated by a community provider to a Seattle Children’s specialist. It allows community providers to receive timely, efficient care guidance on lower-complexity and data-oriented clinical questions that may not require an in-person evaluation. eConsults will be submitted using EpicCare Link, which is available to all providers regardless of what EHR is used in their clinic.
- Specialties that are already live with eConsults: Adolescent Medicine, Biochemical Genetics, Cardiology, Clinical Genetics, Craniofacial, Dermatology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Gynecology, Hematology, Infectious Diseases, Interventional Radiology, Nephrology, Neurodevelopmental Medicine, Neurology, Oncology, Orthopedics, Otolaryngology, Pulmonology, Rehabilitation Medicine, Rheumatology, Sleep Medicine and Urology.
