Using eConsults to Support Nutrition Guidance and Dietitian Gaps

 eConsults are an efficient way to get virtual nutritional guidance and dietitian gaps.

In a primary care setting, eConsults can be used to:

• Obtain non-pharmaceutical recommendations for weight management
• Understand vitamin and mineral deficiencies
• Collaborate in management of obesity or other weight issues
• Receive general guidance for patients’ nutritional needs
• Gain insights on a patient’s condition to better improve their care plan and next steps, and improve the quality of their referral
