Teledermatology Addressing Disparities in Health Care Access: a Review.
Purpose of review: Dermatologists have been at the forefront of researching telemedicine to expand access to care. The current COVID-19 pandemic has prompted even greater expansion and implementation of teledermatology. This review discusses the research examining the potential impact of teledermatology addressing disparities in care.
Recent findings: Teledermatology appears to increase access to dermatology given expanded means to deliver care. Specifically, recent studies have found increased access among Medicaid-insured, resource-poor urban and rural, and elderly populations. Teledermatology implementation also facilitates education among providers at different levels of training. Still, as some patients have inconsistent access to the required technology, increased reliance on telemedicine may also potentially increase disparities for some populations.
Summary: Teledermatology may serve to reduce disparities in health care access in many underserved and marginalized communities. Future research should continue to study implementation, especially given the expansion during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, teledermatology may play an important role in ensuring equitable care access for all.
期刊介绍：
This journal intends to review the most significant recent developments in the field of dermatology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by expert international authors, the journal aims to serve all those involved in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of dermatologic conditions. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field, such as epidemiology, surgery, pharmacology, clinical trial design, and pediatrics. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 20 internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
