Teledermatology: Expanding access, enhancing efficiency

Teledermatology is a powerful tool to improve patient access and streamline clinical workflows—whether you’re launching a new dermatology practice or optimizing an established one. Yet, selecting the right telehealth platform is a strategic decision. With a wide array of providers and feature sets, it’s critical to choose a solution that aligns with your clinical needs, operational goals, and compliance requirements. Below, we’ll explore key players in the teledermatology space and help differentiate their offerings.

Why traditional dermatology workflows are due for an upgrade

The current care delivery model in dermatology poses well-known challenges:

• Extended wait times for appointments, sometimes stretching weeks or months.
• Time lost for patients who must take off work and travel for in-person visits.
• High no-show and cancellation rates, reducing scheduling efficiency.
• Insecure communication channels such as email or SMS.
• Inefficient intake and documentation processes, which burden clinical staff and delay care.
• Provider fatigue, from commuting, administrative tasks, and managing multiple clinic sites.

The case for Teledermatology software

Teledermatology software can mitigate many of these issues by providing an efficient, flexible, and secure model of care. Key benefits include:

• Improved appointment adherence: Patients are more likely to follow through when they don’t have to travel or wait.
• Asynchronous (store-and-forward) consultations enable providers to review cases during downtime—maximizing clinical productivity.
• Streamlined in-person visits: Clinical questionnaires and photos submitted in advance enable better triage and more efficient in-clinic encounters.
• Geographic flexibility:  Extend your dermatology services to underserved or remote areas without expanding your physical footprint.
• Reduced administrative burden: Digital intake, documentation, and image storage simplify back-office operations.
• HIPAA-compliant platforms: Ensure secure storage and transmission of patient data with built-in consent protocols.
• Better provider work-life balance: Less commuting, more schedule control, and lower risk of burnout.
  

Why store-and-forward trumps live video in dermatology

While synchronous (live video) telehealth solutions are common, they often fall short in dermatology. Skin conditions require high-resolution imagery, controlled lighting, and time for detailed review—criteria that live video rarely meets. In contrast:

• Store-and-forward platforms allow patients to submit clinical questionnaires and upload high-quality images.
• Dermatologists can review cases on their own schedule, without being tied to a fixed appointment slot.
• Studies have shown greater diagnostic accuracy and provider satisfaction with store-and-forward models in dermatologic care.
  

Use cases where teledermatology excels

Teledermatology isn’t meant to fully replace in-person care but to complement it by:

• Triaging new cases to determine whether an in-person visit is necessary.
• Managing chronic or minor conditions such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis flares.
• Prescribing and renewing medications without the need for repeated office visits.
• Post-treatment monitoring to ensure patient progress and adherence.
