Teledermatology guides


These guides are meant to help you follow best practices and implement quality improvement when conducting teledermatology.

If you are new to teledermatology, or moving to a new platform, the guides can help you determine whether you’re ready. For practices already doing telehealth, these guides can be used to optimize staff and clinician processes, to help patients prepare, and to build intake forms.

These resources can also drive quality improvement projects in teledermatology. Use the quality improvement guide to identify data collection and improvement opportunities.

This guidance can be used together with the AAD teledermatology resources and quality-specific Institute of Healthcare Improvement telehealth resources.
