Which record must physicians consult for additional setup when using E-Consults?

Physicians must consult provider profile records for additional setup when using E-Consults because these records contain essential information about the providers involved in the consultation process. The provider profile includes details such as contact information, specialties, and practice locations, all of which facilitate effective communication and collaboration between referring and consulting physicians.

This information ensures that E-Consults are directed to the appropriate specialists and that all necessary parameters for consultations, such as the mode of communication and preferred scheduling practices, are accounted for. Access to accurate and comprehensive provider profiles helps streamline the E-Consult process, enhancing both efficiency and patient care.

The other choices, while they may hold valuable information within the EpicCare system, do not serve the same direct purpose regarding the setup of E-Consults. Patient event profiles relate to the patient's history and interactions with the healthcare system, order configuration records pertain to how orders are managed, and consultation management files deal with the administrative side of managing consultations rather than the provider-specific details needed for E-Consults.
