How it
works
Teledermatology
Consultation is Easy
Once a primary
care physician identifies a need for the consulting services of a
board-certified dermatologist, the process of managing sending and
receiving consultations via the Internet is easy.
1. A
primary care provider orders a dermatology consult for a patient and
sends the patient to a teledermatology clinic.
2. A trained
consult manager (in the teledermatology clinic) obtains history and
takes appropriate digital images (using an off the shelf digital
camera) of the patient and uploads the information and photos into
the secure Web application.
3. A board-certified and
licensed dermatologist approved by TeleDerm Solutions and selected
by the referring organization, reviews the case and submits a
diagnosis and recommends a management plan.
4. The referring
provider or a representative is then notified via email with a link
to the application.
5. The referring provider then manages
the patient using the recommendations by the
dermatologist.
