Dermatology electronic consultations (e-consults) placed by primary care providers (PCPs) can increase access to specialty care while reducing wait times and providing accurate clinical outcomes. These e-consults also may reduce barriers for underserved patients who historically have limited access to dermatologic care. Our retrospective chart review examines patient outcomes from a dermatology e-consult program at a tertiary care medical center. E-consults effectively increased access to dermatology care while shortening wait times and reducing health care expenditures.
