Digital image management project for dermatological health care environments: a new dedicated software and review of the literature

Abstract

All clinics and surgeries, especially those that rely on digital images, are obliged to keep up with technological advances. It is therefore hoped that our project will become a model for medical structures intending to rationalise digital and other data according to statutory requirements.

Geriatric teledermatology: store‐and‐forward vs. face‐to‐face examination

“…The data and digital images were classified with the subject identification number and transmitted via a secure web site to one of the three dermatologists, who obviously was not the one who performed the face‐to‐face examination. After assessment of the data, the dermatologist whose turn it was to do teledermatological evaluation (on a 20″ HP L2045w LCD widescreen (Hewlett‐Packard Development Company: HP Privacy Mailbox, 20555 SH 249 – Houston, TX, USA) recorded the diagnosis, therapy prescribed and diagnostic confidence on the form and also recorded all data and images in an image management system ( Dεrmo‐image ; Ergon S.r.l., Via Massetana Romana 50A, Siena, Italy) 11 …”

Effect of practice management softwares among physicians of developing countries with special reference to Indian scenario by Mixed Method Technique

“…(2009) they designed a reliable hardware structure for future scaling. This software facilitated the classification by pathology, patient and visit, with an advanced search option allowing access to all images and the possibility of comparing two or more digital images[ 28 ] A study in Oman which evaluated physician satisfaction with the EMR system, found both positive impact in areas of communication, data entry and retrieval, patient care, and reduction of medical errors as well as negative aspects, such as loss of confidentiality of information and software-related problems, which needs to be solved for their better applicability.
