Telemedicine is an emerging field in healthcare that provides services from different medical specialties to patients all around the world. One of the specialties in telemedicine, teledermatology, has grown exponentially as a cost-effective way to implement dermatological healthcare to underserved areas and populations. This article reviews the literature that pertains to the cost-effectiveness, reliability, public access, patient satisfaction, and reimbursement policies of teledermatology. Teledermatology was found to be cost-effective and reliable in reducing in-person visits and time away from work, and allows for the faster delivery of care. However, reimbursement policies for teledermatology services are rather new and vary significantly from state to state. As public interest in and access to teledermatology continue to grow, the future of teledermatology depends on the development of new technology as well as quality improvement strategies and the evolution of sustainable reimbursement policies.
远程医疗是医疗保健领域中一个新兴的领域，它为世界各地的患者提供来自不同医学专科的服务。远程医疗的专科之一——远程皮肤病学，作为一种向服务不足地区和人群提供皮肤病医疗保健的经济有效方式，呈指数级增长。本文回顾了与远程皮肤病学的成本效益、可靠性、公众可及性、患者满意度和报销政策相关的文献。研究发现，远程皮肤病学在减少面对面就诊和工作时间方面具有成本效益且可靠，并能实现更快的医疗服务提供。然而，远程皮肤病学服务的报销政策相当新，且各州之间差异很大。随着公众对远程皮肤病学的兴趣和可及性不断增加，远程皮肤病学的未来取决于新技术的发展、质量改进策略以及可持续报销政策的演变。
