- W4382025444 abstract "Abstract Our teledermatology service was started in 2018 to facilitate the dermatology department’s move offsite and allow for the continuation of inpatient care digitally without the need for increasing staff levels or cross-site working. Its implementation also allowed for efficient adaptation and use throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery following this period. Alongside these aspects, teledermatology has become integral in the department’s rapid-access 2-week wait (2WW) capacity. The pathway involves patients attending the department and undergoing a nurse-led review with upload of the history alongside macroscopic and dermoscopic photographs to the platform for consultant review and management. The platform conforms to all aspects of the British Association of Dermatologists’ teledermatology guidelines and is hosted on the National Health Service’s Health and Social Care Network. Of almost 4000 2WW referrals assessed by digital teledermatology between 2018 and the present, no referrals have been rejected for poor quality, only 1% required urgent face-to-face review with a consultant, 32% were discharged, 53% were booked in for a minor surgical procedure of which half were suspected to be cancer or precancer and performed urgently, and 14% were booked for routine review due to risk factors such a multiple moles and need for a full skin check. Our consultants can assess 40 patients on the digital platform in a 4-h period, and the overall cost is approximately half of a face-to-face clinic, including admin. Of all 2WW referrals, general practitioner diagnosis has remained quite constant, with 30% of lesions thought to be malignant melanoma (MM), 36% squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 3% basal cell carcinoma (BCC); in the remaining 31%, no diagnosis was made. Of those referred for surgery by the dermatology consultants, the clinical diagnosis was BCC in 20%, SCC in 22% and MM or MM in situ in 6%; the remainder was thought to be precancerous, atypical naevi or other. We have continued to demonstrate through audit that the clinicopathological correlation in the digital teledermatology clinic is as good as face-to-face clinics for lesion diagnosis because of the quality of the history and images. Our most recent satisfaction survey in 2022 showed 96% patient satisfaction with the initial teledermatology assessment; of those booked for a procedure, 88% strongly agreed that all concerns were addressed prior to surgery. All patients would recommend the service to friends and family. With nearly 5 years of data and continuous evaluation, we have shown the effectiveness of a well-designed, connected digital system in supporting our service without duplication of effort by clinicians or prolongation of the patient’s journey." @default.
