ConferMED Awarded Grant from the Quest Diagnostics Foundation to Provide Specialty eConsults to Front Line Providers at Federally Qualified Health Centers in Key Regions
ConferMED eConsults address the growing challenge of limited access to specialty care and high costs when patients are referred to providers outside primary care. Using the ConferMED eConsult platform, specialists are able to review cases accurately and quickly with front line providers and provide input and develop the optimal care plan for patients. This process improves chronic disease outcomes, reduces unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital admissions, and prevents long-term complications.
Through the grant, ConferMED also will help health centers and specialists with eConsult implementation and integration in addition to providing enhanced technology and interoperability to ensure ease of use for front line providers and staff. "Access to specialty eConsults is more important than ever as the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the health inequities for patients in the underserved communities primarily served by community health centers," says ConferMED President and Founder
"We are proud of this important collaboration with ConferMED that will improve access to critical specialty care services in under-resourced communities," said
ConferMED is a national network of specialists providing eConsults and other telehealth services to providers across the country. To learn more, visit www.ConferMED.com.
