Skin cancer incidences have tripled in the Netherlands for the last twenty years and are expected to increase even more in the coming years. Teledermoscopy (TDsc) is implemented in Dutch practice to support and enhance early skin cancer detection by general practitioners (GPs) through remote consultation with dermatologists. This study assesses the effect of TDsc consultation on the quality and efficiency of skin cancer care in the primary setting by analyzing 10,184 TDsc consultations.
在过去二十年中,荷兰的皮肤癌发病率增长了两倍,预计在未来几年还会进一步上升。荷兰的医疗实践中采用了远程皮肤镜检查(TDsc),通过与皮肤科医生进行远程会诊,来支持和加强全科医生(GPs)对皮肤癌的早期检测。本研究通过分析10184次TDsc会诊,评估了TDsc会诊对初级医疗环境中皮肤癌护理质量和效率的影响。
