“…Several studies have demonstrated the utility of teledermatology, or more specifically store-and-forward applications. These studies have ranged from demonstrating improved access to dermatologic care in medically underserved areas [11][12][13] to shortening consult times in inpatient settings, 14 to providing patients with direct to consumer teledermatology services. 15 Moreover, provider satisfaction has also been shown to be high using store and forward applications.…”

“…Not only does video conferencing via a synchronous system rely on the treating doctor, dermatologist, and patient being available simultaneously, it also requires additional and more complicated infrastructure to function (Byrom et al, 2016). Most notably, wide bandwidth communication and expensive video conferencing technologies (e.g., cameras,) are both necessary to achieve a consultation of adequate quality.…”

“…For photos to be of good quality, they must be clear, demonstrate the anatomical distribution of lesions, and include a close-up to show the detail required for an accurate diagnosis (Byrom et al, 2016). The frequency of poor quality images used in asynchronous tele-dermatology systems has led many researchers to suggest that imaging training programs and guidelines be introduced (Lasierra et al, 2012, Landow et al, 2014, Wilson and Maeder, 2015).…”

BackgroundAustralia’s health disparity, combined with evolving technologies, has evoked increasing interest and funding in health services that could address inequities. One such emerging service is tele-medicine.ObjectiveThe purpose of this report is to discuss and evaluate the current literature regarding patient and practitioner satisfaction with tele-medicine, and more specifically tele-dermatology.MethodsWe searched for literature relevant to tele-dermatology use among Australia’s indigenous population. We synthesized the literature in our report and identified elements of tele-dermatology not yet researched.ResultsMost significantly, all available research is currently based on descriptive studies and there is no validated tool to assess the efficacy of tele-dermatology.LimitationsNo published research currently exists on the use of tele-dermatology among Australia’s indigenous population.ConclusionA review of the literature shows that tele-dermatology is considered a valuable service, particularly to patients living in rural areas who might not otherwise have access to specialist care.

“…As is observed with most medical specialties, dermatologists tend to practise in large metropolitan areas. Hence, for many patients substantial travel (and associated costs) is required to access specialist dermatological care . Additionally, there is a demand for dermatological care and the demand is expected to increase.…”

A review of literature supporting the development of practice guidelines for teledermatology in Australia

et al. 2020

Despite the potential of teledermatology to increase access to dermatology services and improve patient care, it is not widely practised in Australia. In an effort to increase uptake of teledermatology, Australian-specific practice guidelines for teledermatology are being developed by the Australasian College of Dermatologist. This paper reports finding from literature reviews that were undertaken to inform the development of these guidelines. Results cover the following sections: Modalities of teledermatology; Patient selection and consent; Imaging; Quality and safety; Privacy and security; Communication; and Documentation and retention. The document educates providers about the benefits and limitations of telehealth while articulating how to enhance patient care and reduce risk when practicing teledermatology.
