Effect of Teledermatology on access to Dermatology !

Despite the challenges facing its growth, telemedicine is seen as way to improve access to care, particularly to specialists in rural areas where they might be in short supply.Telemedicine is a kind of concept that continues to evolve at a rapid pace, but more and more dermatologists are adopting approaches and analyzing its affects.
There are two main models of teledermatology that dermatologists practice today which includes,
  1. Store-and-forward : In this asynchronous model, patients provide medical history, relevant clinical data, and photographs, which are forwarded to a dermatologist who reviews the information and follows up with a consultation.
  2. Live interactive: In this face-to-face model, a patient has a real-time appointment with a dermatologist over a video platform5239

Meeting technology standards and guaranteeing high-quality video consultations are also big challenges for dermatologists.

In addition to the benefits and risks, there are other things a practice or organization should consider before deciding to employ teledermatology services. First, they must assess their patient population, understand reimbursements, and confirm their malpractice coverage includes teledermatology services. Then, they must determine which teledermatology model would be more practical and successful to implement and maintain.

Teledermatology services that do not meet these recommendations can put patients at risk.
