RACE is an innovative model of shared care where primary care providers can call one phone number and choose from a selection of specialty services for real-time telephone advice.

In the Rapid Access to Consultative Expertise (RACE) model, the telephone call is routed directly to the specialists cell phone or pager for “just in time” advice.  

For traditional referrals, patients often wait months to see a specialist, however minor advice may be all that is needed.  An educational interaction with knowledge transfer is encouraged when the specialist answers the call.  In the spirit of “capacity building”, specialists are recruited for their interest in teaching and communication as well as their recognition as key opinion leaders. 

Visit the RACE website.
