Area of Science:

Dermatology
Health Services Research

Background:

Rising demand for dermatology services necessitates efficient clinic operations.
Current evidence guiding dermatological consultation time allocation is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze dermatology consultation lengths.
To provide evidence-based time recommendations for optimizing clinic efficiency.

Main Methods:

Analysis of 607 dermatology consultations.
Involved 23 clinicians across various grades.
Examined factors influencing consultation duration.

Main Results:

Consultation length depends on clinician grade, patient type (new vs. follow-up), and diagnosis.
Median consultation times for general dermatological conditions and suspected skin tumors were 16.5 and 15.5 minutes, respectively.
New patient consultations were significantly longer than follow-up cases.

Conclusions:

Recommend allocating 25 minutes for new patient consultations with general dermatological conditions.
Suggest allocating 15 minutes for follow-up consultations.
Advocate for similar analyses in other medical specialties to develop efficient clinic models.
