Implementation of an EConsult System with Patient Navigation. J Health Care Poor Underserved. 2019;30(1):28-39 Authors: Dhruva SS Abstract Community and academic partners in New Haven, Connecticut designed and implemented a system whereby patients with Medicaid insurance at a community health center received electronic specialty consultation from academic medical center physicians as well as navigation to follow-up tests and face-to-face appointments. Specialty access was improved, but some patients reported being burdened by a lack of coordination for their overall care. PMID: 30827966 [PubMed - in process]
