Project Lead
Ontario eConsult enables timely and equitable access to specialist advice for all patients in Ontario. The program, with the support of the Ministry of Health and Long-term Care, integrates two successful initiatives: BASE™ Managed Specialty model and the Ontario Telemedicine Network’s (OTN) Direct to Specialist model. Importantly, electronic consultations (eConsult) has a robust data set of consults through the program and is regularly used for program evaluation and research purposes. The extension of this resource to inform OSSU-SPOR Funded studies further supports data capacity, a priority for eConsult.
