We are excited to announce new groups that are available for eConsult. For more information, you can reference the groups in the OTNhub directory or contact the SEAMO Digital Health Support Team.

Since the inception of the Ontario eConsult Program in February 2017, primary care providers (PCPs) and specialists in the South East region have helped expand the service into a thriving enterprise. 



Who’s On Board?

As of December 2019, 148 primary care providers were actively engaging in eConsult (active users are those who have sent at least three eConsults over the last six months). The South East region is second only to the Waterloo-Wellington region in the percentage of active PCPs.

We are looking for specialists to join the Plastic Surgery and Infectious Disease groups in the South East Region. Please help us spread the word!
