Implication

Prospective observational cohort study shows that synchronous and asynchronous education improves e-consult appropriateness in primary care, suggesting effective training methods for PCPs.

Key Points

68% of e-consults were appropriate, with a significant increase post-training compared to pre-training.
Both synchronous and asynchronous training improved appropriateness rates to 75.2% and 69.1%, respectively, indicating effective educational approaches.
The analysis involved 9934 e-consults from 326 primary care physicians regarding chronic liver disease management.
Educational programs may enhance e-consult utilization, implying future exploration of their long-term benefits.
