Ohio Diabetes Project

ConferMED is partnering with 7 Ohio Medicaid managed care plans and the Ohio Association of Community Health Centers to improve diabetes outcomes in the state. ConferMED’s endocrinologists are available to provide eConsult guidance to primary care providers working in health centers across the state to help them develop and implement evidence based, effective treatment plans to reduce complications from diabetes.

Maine eConsult Network

ConferMED was chosen as the eConsult vendor to build and support the Maine eConsult network. With funding from the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, health centers from across the state have been accepted into this statewide pilot program to receive eConsults from ConferMED’s Maine-licensed specialty care providers. The program features full interoperability with a range of electronic health record systems, implementation support, and a detailed quantitative and qualitative evaluation.

Quest for Health Equity

The Quest Diagnostics Foundation has put its full support towards a nationwide effort to reduce inequality in healthcare. As part of this effort, ConferMED was selected to receive over $2 million to provide access to eConsults to practices caring for over 1.6 million patients in Los Angeles County, Massachusetts, Illinois, Florida, Texas, Maryland, and Connecticut. Limited access to specialty care is a leading contributor to inequality. ConferMED’s eConsult solution is evidence proven to reduce inequality by providing access to specialty care expertise for primary care providers working in community health centers.
