	When an official consult is requested of peds make sure you are clear about what the consultation is for and that they have ordered a pediatric consult in the Electronic Health Record (EHR). If you are acting solely as the consulting physician, do not write orders on the patient unless specifically asked to do so by the primary provider. Family Practice providers may also ask unofficial “curbside” questions about a patient; this is fine if the question is straightforward. If the consult gets more complicated and requires a chart review please have the requesting doc turn the question into an official consult request. When performing a formal consult, write a consult history and physical-type note (for communication and billing purposes). Remember to complete a charge in ~~RAVEN~~ for any formal consults.

			===Murmurs===
	One of the most common consults is evaluating murmurs in newborn, infants and older kids. If the murmur sounds benign and there are no other significant issues and it was just a quick listen then it can be treated as a curbside consult with reassurance. The consulting provider may document their quick consult and/or you can add a brief addendum to their note. If there is any concern or if further evaluation and/or follow up is required, then a note and a charge by the pediatrician need to be completed.
