However, until the current pandemic, face-to-face assessment had been the modality for nearly all routine and urgent appointments and thus comprised the vast majority of patient care.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has required health services worldwide to adapt to dramatically changing healthcare needs and risks across all medical specialties. In the dermatology department at Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, Australia, we developed and implemented a teledermatology system with 1 week's notice to help reduce infection risk bidirectionally, while saving patients many hours of travel and waiting time with acceptable technological substitutes for the clinical encounters. In this study, we report the efficacy and tolerability of our telephone consultation and store and forward imaging system, including patient experience from validated survey data. Our design, implementation and usage of a remote-default system provides experience and lessons to draw upon in developing future telemedicine systems to address dermatology service maldistribution – an issue affecting large areas of Australia – as well as preparedness for future infection mitigation requirements.

Emergency department (ED) consultation is an important part of acute patient care and one of the major determinants of ED length of stay (LOS). ED consultations between physicians who may not be in the same location frequently, require a tool to reach out one another and communicate. This paper reviews the historical change and development of consultation tools. The literature on ED consultation methods have been accumulating for the last two decades as the diversity of these methods has increased with technology. Most of the studies demonstrate that high tech systems are useful and safe to reach the consultant and share medical information flow. Moreover, the future of the area offers new developments regarding consultation tools that are hard to imagine yet like augmented reality.
