As medicine and surgery have evolved over time to improve patient care, so
have the mechanisms by which healthcare is delivered. It has evolved significantly
and explosively, on account of the pandemic of 2020. Despite physical
restrictions necessary to prevent the spread of the virus, all other diseases
continued to affect mankind necessitating an alternative form of healthcare.
Electronic healthcare (telemedicine) came to the immediate forefront as a
means to cover this breach of care to our patients. Some providers were prepared,
while others started de novo. Dermatology, as a visual field, readily
adapted to this dilemma during the shutdown period. The majority of dermatologists
maintained their practice by becoming teledermatologists. Though
not all continue with teledermatology, it has become an evidence-based format
to deliver skin care. Due to the disproportionate ratio of patient to dermatologist,
treating the burden of skin disease in the United States is currently
not attainable. Teledermatology has allowed a marked increase in access to
skin care to those with limited availability to board-certified dermatologists,
both in the outpatient and inpatient arena. This textbook is a collection of
manuscripts written by some of the current leading teledermatologists, offering
a comprehensive overview of teledermatology. The intent of the book is
to facilitate the development of future teledermatology programs and enhance
existing programs. There are 24 chapters covering the aspects of teledermatology
that I consider most important to understand its role in the care and
management of skin disease.
