CONSULT technology gives your practice the ability to break down barriers of access through telemedicine

Overview

CONSULT is a telemedicine application that provides electronic clinical information and consultation exchange between Primary Care Providers (PCPs) and specialists.  Our CONSULT network includes the following specialties:  Allergy, Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Hematology, Nephrology, Podiatry and Pain Management.  More specialties will be added in the future.

CONSULT, SynerMed LABS’ first project was the result of an experiment to see if we could leverage our specialty networks in urban markets for the benefit of rural and remote geographic markets that lacked adequate specialty access.

Specialty access has been an ongoing problem in the past due to long wait times, lack of proper medical triage and poor communication between primary care providers and specialists.  This resulted in decreased access to specialty care, while patient’s suffered from inadequate and lower quality of care.  Consult offers a viable solution to the problem.
