Description
Danica Goulet and co-authors evaluated remote specialist advice in prisons in two thousand twenty-four. People in federal custody often wait long for specialists. Ontario's eConsult service lets doctors ask specialists online. Correctional doctors began using it for their patients. The team reviewed four years of those consultations. Volume, topics, and response times were analyzed.
Over nine hundred consultations were completed in the window. Twenty-one correctional doctors submitted them. Heart questions led the specialty list by far. Skin and hormone questions followed behind. Specialists answered in about a day, typically. Each answer took roughly a quarter hour to write. Advice often averted transfers out of facilities. The service improves access behind bars measurably.
