SCTA and ReferWell expand access to care with South Carolina eConsult

Charleston, S.C. (Oct. 21, 2021) – Through virtual, provider-to-provider consultations with a wide range of specialists, the South Carolina Telehealth Alliance and ReferWell are joining forces to create South Carolina eConsult (see press release) – an initiative seeking to ensure South Carolinians have access to quality health care no matter where they reside.

Through ReferWell’s EMR-agnostic platform, providers at health centers and group practices across the state can request asynchronous virtual consultations with experts in several specialties to determine the appropriate next step in their patient’s care journey – improving the quality of care and making it easier for patients to access the care they need with less effort.

"We are thrilled to offer local physicians a free tool to get quick, expert guidance to solve cases and avoid unnecessary patient visits without their staff spending time on the phone," said Dr. James McElligott, SCTA Advisory Council co-chair.
