Abstract

Despite the potential of teledermatology to increase access to dermatology services and improve patient care, it is not widely practised in Australia. In an effort to increase uptake of teledermatology, Australian-specific practice guidelines for teledermatology are being developed by the Australasian College of Dermatologist. This paper reports finding from literature reviews that were undertaken to inform the development of these guidelines. Results cover the following sections: Modalities of teledermatology; Patient selection and consent; Imaging; Quality and safety; Privacy and security; Communication; and Documentation and retention. The document educates providers about the benefits and limitations of telehealth while articulating how to enhance patient care and reduce risk when practicing teledermatology.

  • Dermoscopic images are considered to have appropriate resolution and magnification if dots and regression structures can be visualized.

  • Use of dermatoscopes by well-trained primary care providers compared to clinical photographs alone can improve access to dermatologic care for underserved populations, reduce wait times, allow continuous monitoring of lesions over time, and improve detection of suspicious lesions.

    “When compared to clinical photographs alone, use of dermatoscopes by well-trained primary care providers can also improve access to dermatologic care for underserved populations, reduce wait times, allow for continuous monitoring of lesions over time, and improve detection of suspicious lesions22–25.”

  • Polarized and nonpolarized dermoscopy can provide complementary information.

    “However, polarized and nonpolarized dermoscopy can provide complementary information and it is generally recommended to capture at least one dermoscopic image with polarized light25,32,39,41,42.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
