    The American Academy of Dermatology developed DermRx, a computerized database for dermatologic therapy. This system provides comprehensive information on treatments and disease management for dermatologists.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Biomedical Communications
    • Health Informatics

    Background:

    • The American Academy of Dermatology established a Task Force to create a digital information system for dermatology.
    • Existing methods for accessing dermatologic literature and therapy information were identified as needing improvement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present an initial version of a computerized dermatologic therapy data bank named DermRx.
    • To outline the structure and content of the DermRx system.
    • To solicit feedback on the DermRx system's design and utility.

    Main Methods:

    • The Task Force designed and implemented a "first generation" computerized data bank, DermRx.
    • The data bank includes disease names, treatment modalities (topical, systemic, physical), caveats, literature references, and review information.

  • DermRx is envisioned as a component of a larger Biomedical Communications System for Dermatology.

    • Main Results:

    • A functional prototype of the DermRx system has been completed.
    • The system currently stores detailed information on dermatologic diseases and their treatments.
    • Initial access is available via phone or mail to a central facility, with future plans for direct physician access.

    Conclusions:

    • DermRx represents a foundational step towards a comprehensive digital resource for dermatologists.
    • The system aims to enhance dermatologists' access to crucial data for practice, education, and research.
    • Further development and user feedback are anticipated to refine the system's value and accessibility.
