Teledermatology in Missouri and beyond.

University of Missouri-Columbia, USA. edisonk@health.missouri.edu

The practice of teledermatology has grown considerably in rural and frontier areas where access barriers exist. Live-interactive and store-and-forward modalities are used, either alone or in combination (hybrid model). Research has shown that the diagnoses made and management recommended during teledermatology interactions are in concordance with in-person diagnosis and treatment. Many patients worldwide have limited access to expert dermatological care and the current technology is increasingly offering access for these patients.
