“…As of 2009, the average patient wait time was 30 days for an appointment with a dermatologist. 2 As the aging US population grows, a relatively stagnant dermatology workforce will not be able to provide high quality and timely care.…”

“…3,4 Effective use of teledermatology is dependent on appropriate preselection of patients, access to high-quality images, dermoscopy for pigmented lesions, and infrastructure to implement teleconsultation recommendations. 2 Therefore, effective SAF technology requires a rigorous and algorithmic approach. The Veterans Affairs (VA) teledermatology program has devised a streamlined process including provider education and data acquisition for real-time and SAF consultations.…”

Impact of standardized templates and skin cancer learning modules for teledermatology consultations

et al. 2019

Background Little research has been done in teledermatology to examine the effects of standardized templates and subject‐specific learning modules. Methods We performed a prospective study examining the effects of standardized templates and standardized cutaneous oncology learning modules on teledermatology referrals at Mayo Clinic. This data was then compared to previous teledermatology referrals before standardized templates were adopted. Results A total of 42 teledermatology consultations were performed during the 4‐month study period. The use of standardized templates resulted in an absolute reduction in face‐to‐face referrals. Teledermatology consultation increased the absolute diagnostic and management concordance by 26.2% (P = 0.02) and 33.3% (P < 0.01), respectively, and decreased the absolute diagnostic and management discordance by 19.1% (P = 0.03) and 31.0% (P < 0.01), respectively. The largest knowledge gaps were identified in cutaneous oncology. Educational intervention improved theoretical referral rates and confidence in diagnosis and management overall. Conclusion The implementation of standardized intake templates reduces the rate of face‐to‐face referrals. Teledermatology improves primary care‐based dermatological care and reduces theoretical referral rates.

“…Teledermatology and teledermatopathology are emerging healthcare delivery platforms that improve access to care for patients in resource-limited settings by facilitating timely remote consultations about clinical and pathologic findings with dermatologists and pathologists around the world. 1,2 This model of care predominantly relies on static, store-and-forward (asynchronous) images but may also utilize live video. Studies have indicated that teledermatology and telepathology are feasible and may be reliable in terms of diagnostic accuracy and management when compared with conventional diagnosis via faceto-face consultation and glass slides.…”

“…Studies have indicated that teledermatology and telepathology are feasible and may be reliable in terms of diagnostic accuracy and management when compared with conventional diagnosis via faceto-face consultation and glass slides. [1][2][3][4] Beyond serving as a platform for delivering clinical care, teledermatology may also serve as a valuable educational tool for medical students, residents, and attending physicians. This technology has been used as an educational tool across a number of specialties to improve residents' medical knowledge and diagnostic acuity in nonglobal dermatology care.…”

What drives attitude towards telemedicine among families of pediatric patients? A survey

et al. 2017

BackgroundTelemedicine has been recognized as a way to improve accessibility, quality, and efficiency of care. In view of the introduction of new telemedicine services, we conducted a survey through a self-administered questionnaire among families of children attending the Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital IRCCS, a tertiary care children’s hospital located in Rome, Italy.MethodsWe investigated sociodemographic data, clinical information, technological profile, attitude towards telemedicine, perceived advantages of telemedicine, fears regarding telemedicine, willingness to use a smartphone app providing telemedicine services and willingness to use a televisit service. Through logistic regression, we explored the effect of sociodemographic and clinical variables and technological profile on willingness of using a telemedicine app and a televisit service.ResultsWe enrolled a total of 751 families. Most patients had a high technological profile, 81% had at least one account on a social network. Whatsapp was the most popular messaging service (76%). Seventy-two percent of patients would use an app for telemedicine services and 65% would perform a televisit. Owning a tablet was associated with both outcome variables - respectively: OR 2.216, 95% CI 1.358–3.616 (app) and OR 2.117, 95% CI 1.415–3.168 (televisit). Kind of hospitalization, diagnosis of a chronic disease, disease severity and distance from the health care center were not associated with the outcome variables.ConclusionFamilies of pediatric patients with different clinical problems are keen to embark in telemedicine programs, independently from severity of disease or chronicity, and of distance from the hospital.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12887-016-0756-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
