Evaluation of a novel model of dermatology outpatient care, designed to enhance services to underserved regional and rural areas. (Old ID 27133)
Role
Principal Investigator
Description
This project will pilot a novel model of specialist outpatient care in dermatology. In this model, patients referred for a specialist dermatology opinion at Townsville University Hospital will be seen in a satellite clinic, by a GP with a special interest (GPSI) in dermatology. The GPSI will provide specialist dermatology services with support from a remotely located dermatologist, via two telemedicine platforms: A) Store-and-forward telemedicine (SAFT) platform – to transfer information to the remotely-located specialist (asynchronous); B) Video-link Case conferencing between the specialist and the GPSI (real-time, synchronous)
