Study finds remote dermatology consults help treatment, outcomes

“Live interactive telemedicine consults with dermatologists appeared to result in improved treatment and positive outcomes, according to a report in the American Medical Association’s Archives of Dermatology journal.
In a study funded by HHS’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, researchers examined the records of 1,490 patients who had a live teledermatology visit with a physician at the University of California at Davis between 2003 and 2005, and compared diagnoses and treatment plans between the referring physician and the dermatologist.”
