A total of 3,119 eConsults were sent in the South East Region over the past 12 months! As seen in the table below, there is a month-over-month increase in the number of eConsults sent each month.

When using the BASE™ Managed Specialty option, this tool will facilitate your eConsults being sent to local specialty groups first, when available, and thus support regional communities of practice.
The South East region is proud to offer regional BASE™ managed specialty groups in 100 specialties providing you with timely access to your local specialists.
