Tertiary Healthcare System

Tertiary Healthcare System

Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care to...

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Dermatology
Health Services Research

Background:

Telemedicine is increasingly adopted in healthcare.
Dermatology's visual nature makes it well-suited for telemedicine.
Teledermatology encompasses secondary (GP to dermatologist) and tertiary (dermatologist to dermatologist) forms.

Purpose of the Study:

To systematically review studies on tertiary teledermatology.
To categorize the uses and modalities of tertiary teledermatology.
To identify research gaps in dermatologist-to-dermatologist communication via telemedicine.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature search of Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and EMBASE (1966-November 2007).
Inclusion of 11 studies on tertiary teledermatology.
Extraction of use categories, modalities, technology, outcomes, and results.

Main Results:

Four primary use categories identified: expert opinion (6/11), resident training (2/11), continuing medical education (4/11), and second opinions (2/11).
Most common modality was teledermatology consultation applications (7/11), primarily using store-and-forward technology (7/11).
Outcome measures included learning effect, costs, diagnostic accuracy, validity, reliability, satisfaction, and efficiency.

Conclusions:

Tertiary teledermatology is predominantly used for obtaining expert opinions from specialized dermatologists.
Research in tertiary teledermatology is nascent.
Future research should explore the scale of tertiary teledermatology and match modalities to specific communication needs among dermatologists.
