Store-and-forward teledermatology impact on diagnosis, treatment and dermatology referrals: Comparison between practice settings

Abstract

SAF teledermatology improves diagnosis, reducing barriers to specialty care. Overall, potential FTF visit reduction was 79%. Expanding eConsult programmes, particularly in walk-in settings, and for use by NP/PAs or early career internists, may render dermatological care more expeditiously and avoid unnecessary FTF visits.
