Abstract

Abstract: Patient outcomes are hugely dependent on the response and care given by clinicians. In certain areas of Western countries like the United States, Canada, and others, specialist availability becomes a challenge1 . The specialists are often overburdened with patients which eventually impacts the wait times of getting an appointment. Under such circumstances, the patient's outcomes are affected, and the longer wait times impact the patient's health.

A pilot study was conducted aiming to understand the effectiveness of e-consultations in improving patient outcomes.
