Total projected and total actual cumulative eConsults at independent physician group and health system practices, across all beneficiary populations, by implementation quarter, Feb 2021-Jul 2022

Note: For the purposes of this graph, quarters are defined by implementation quarters. The first implementation quarter (Q1) was February-April 2021. Only independent practices were implementing eConsults in Q1 and Q2. Health system practices began implementing eConsults in Q3, which was August-October 2021. The total projected eConsult utilization was based on (a) ConferMED's experience in a Medicaid population and (b) expected specialty volume and when each specialty was implemented in the pilot.
