Abstract
E-consults replace "curbside" interactions, facilitate provider-specialist communication, document within the medical record, and track relative value units (RVUs). Pediatric infectious diseases (PID) E-consults commonly relate to vaccines, exposures, diagnoses, and treatments. The documented RVU effort of 197 consecutive PID E-consults was equivalent to 70 level 4 new outpatient consults.
