Biography
Biography: Kate Ross
Abstract
This presentation will give an overview of a few available telemedicine systems currently in use in a private practice setting and compare these to the telehealth system currently being used at the VA hospital. It will further discuss how one practice is integrating teledermatology into day to day business to make patient care easier and more HIPAA compliant. I will explore how one VA is using telehealth to improve consultation between dermatology and non-dermatology practitioners. This will finish with a review of the barriers to widespread use of these systems in a busy practice as well as limitations of use in the governmental systems. Finally we will visit new features being promised by telemedicine companies in the years to come.
