Evaluation of general practitioner's time investment during a store-and-forward teledermatology consultation.

posted in: Updates in Informatics | 0

CONCLUSIONS: Usage of store-and-forward teledermatology increases the average duration of a GP consultation with at least three and a half minutes. Further integration of teledermatology applications and electronic patients’ records may reduce the total duration of a consultation and increase acceptance of teledermatology in general practice.
