What's New In Digital Health

Dermatology EMR system has become the rule rather than the exception in modern practices. However, challenges brought by increased skin health demands are shaping these systems into sophisticated cloud-based hubs able to provide efficient and accurate tools for skin cancer early detection.

Patient engagement is identified as a major priority over the next 5 years for healthcare practices. However, an industry snapshot reveals that this fails to be the case. This article summarizes the importance of patient accessibility along with potential solutions such as teledermoscopy services.

The utilization of telemedicine services has grown exponentially, particularly in underserved areas. Teledermatology has proved an efficient system to offer care with shorten waiting times, while the addition of teledermoscopy imaging can improve efficacy in the accuracy of the diagnostic process.

With the increasing implementation of intelligent dermatology tools, the dynamic of healthcare relationships has forever been changed: patient-doctor, doctor-colleague, and (most ambiguously) doctor-technology. This article examines the three relationships and how this impacts quality of care.

Dermatology EMRs have brought many positive changes to data management and operative workflows. However, challenges about their ultimate efficacy still remain. Newly developed intelligent software are breaking barriers to achieve expected performance levels.

Time-sensitive diseases like skin cancer and shortage in active dermatologists urge for doctors’ full involvement in patient care. Intelligent dermatology software offers a solution by allowing trained non-medical staff to focus on administrative tasks, leaving patient management to physicians.
