What is a curbside consult?
A curbside consult is a focused question from one clinician to another. The local provider stays in charge of the patient’s care. A traditional curbside is informal advice; a documented specialist review is an eConsult.
More on Beam Solutions ↗What is an eConsult?
An eConsult is a provider-to-provider question sent with relevant patient records. The specialist reviews the information and returns a written recommendation for the chart. The patient does not need to join a live video visit.
More on Beam Solutions ↗What is a teleconsult?
A teleconsult is a live video visit in which a specialist evaluates the patient and documents the encounter. Your local care team can join the visit and help with the bedside assessment. Unlike an eConsult, it involves direct interaction with the patient.

What is the difference between a curbside consult, an eConsult and a teleconsult?
A curbside consult is a quick question from one provider to a specialist. An eConsult adds a specialist review of the records and a written recommendation for the chart. A teleconsult is a live video visit in which the specialist evaluates the patient. Your local provider stays in charge of care in all three.
More on Beam Solutions ↗How does telemedicine work for a hospital or clinic?
Your nurse, doctor or care team reaches a Beam clinician by video or eConsult. Beam clinicians document in your EHR and talk with your providers, while your onsite team gives hands-on care. Patients can get specialty and inpatient care close to home.
Are Beam clinicians licensed and credentialed?
Beam physicians are board-certified, and every Beam clinician, including respiratory therapists and nurse case managers, is licensed in the U.S. states they serve. Beam is accredited by The Joint Commission and uses credentialing by proxy, so your hospital can rely on Beam’s credentialing work. Your hospital still grants privileges.
Is Beam a virtual locum tenens company?
No. Beam partners with organizations for the long term. We work with your team on the strategy, day-to-day needs and growth of your clinical program.
