Teledermatology in practice: Report of Mayo Clinic experience.

Single dermatology televisits effectively managed nearly one-third of patients who did not require in-person follow-up. An initial synchronous / live video conferencing was more likely to yield a single clinical encounter, whereas asynchronous / store-and-forward visits required more in-person follow-up. Future studies are required that focus on dermatology-specific cost, diagnoses, access, quality of care, and outcomes.
