Medweb Knows Teledermatology

In some healthcare areas such as radiology, virtual care has become commonplace, but in dermatology, providing quality care remotely can be challenging. It has become necessary to combine synchronous and asynchronous approaches into a comprehensive telecare plan. Getting it right can provide a substantial improvement in the quality of care and in the reduction of cost of healthcare services.
 

  • Patients can access distant specialty providers, receive care in the location most convenient to them, and receive care faster

  • Dermatologists can provide better, faster care to more patients and in a more secure way, while optimizing their internal operations and record-keeping


Our team at Medweb has decades of experience in telehealth. Whether you are a part of a large healthcare system or a small dermatology office, we would love to share our expertise on how to transform your dermatology practice with an effective approach to teledermatology. If you would like more information, let us share our ideas!

The Medweb Teledermatology Suite

At Medweb, we have developed the technology that allows all stakeholders to collaborate as a team. Primary care providers, specialists, ancillary staff, patients, and family caregivers can work together to meet the needs of a specific patient, regardless of their location. Our technology has supported a wide variety of needs, from warfighters in remote battlefields, to passengers on ships in the middle of the ocean, to public health systems.
