General Practitioners' Perspectives About Remote Dermatology Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Netherlands: Questionnaire-Based Study.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic affected the delivery of primary care and stimulated the use of digital health solutions such as remote digital dermatology care. In the Netherlands, remote store-and-forward dermatology care was already integrated into Dutch general practice before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is unclear how general practitioners (GPs) experienced this existing digital dermatology care during the pandemic period.

To Refer or Not to Refer in Teledermoscopy: Retrospective Study.

Background: Challenges remain for general practitioners (GPs) in diagnosing (pre)malignant and benign skin lesions. Teledermoscopy (TDsc) supports GPs in diagnosing these skin lesions guided by teledermatologists' (TDs) diagnosis and advice and prevents unnecessary referrals to dermatology care. However, the impact of the availability of TDsc on GPs' self-reported referral decisions to dermatology care before and after the TDsc consultation is unknown.

Eleven years of teledermoscopy in the Netherlands: A retrospective quality and performance analysis of 18,738 consultations.

Introduction: Teledermoscopy supports and enhances the early detection of skin lesions by general practitioners in primary practice through remote consultation with dermatologists. Teledermoscopy has been a regular health service in Dutch primary care since February 2009. Teledermoscopy quality and performance outcomes on Dutch general practitioner primary care 11 years after its implementation were assessed.

The Store-and-Forward Telemedicine Service User-satisfaction Questionnaire: Development and validation of a questionnaire to monitor and assess health care providers' experiences.

Introduction: With wider adoption of store-and-forward telemedicine accelerating, particularly post-coronavirus disease 2019, it is essential to understand health care providers' (HCPs) satisfaction with digital solutions offered by telemedicine organizations to (continuously) guarantee service quality. We developed the Store-and-Forward Telemedicine Service User-satisfaction Questionnaire to monitor and assess HCPs' experiences with contracted telemedicine organizations.

Methods: Questionnaire construction (phase 1) consisted of exploratory literature search on validated telemedicine satisfaction questionnaires, a telemedicine domain and human factors expert focus group, stakeholder focus group (customer service employee and telemedicine account managers), and two pre-testing rounds among 18 HCPs.

Is Teledermoscopy Improving General Practitioner Skin Cancer Care?

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.

The Value of Teledermoscopy to the Expertise of General Practitioners Diagnosing Skin Disorders Based on ICD-10 Coding.

Early recognition of skin cancer is vital to enhance patient outcomes. Teledermoscopy (TDsc), a telemedicine service, supports general practitioners (GPs) in gaining fast access to dermatologists' feedback to detect skin cancer. This study aimed to assess if GPs gain expertise in diagnosing skin disorders after continued use of TDsc, based on diagnosis classification by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10).

Solving Interoperability in Translational Health. Perspectives of Students from the International Partnership in Health Informatics Education (IPHIE) 2016 Master Class.

Background: In the summer of 2016 an international group of biomedical and health informatics faculty and graduate students gathered for the 16th meeting of the International Partnership in Health Informatics Education (IPHIE) masterclass at the University of Utah campus in Salt Lake City, Utah. This international biomedical and health informatics workshop was created to share knowledge and explore issues in biomedical health informatics (BHI).

Objective: The goal of this paper is to summarize the discussions of biomedical and health informatics graduate students who were asked to define interoperability, and make critical observations to gather insight on how to improve biomedical education.

Patient's Perspective on Quality of Teleconsultation Services.

Objective: Patient satisfaction with teleconsultation services can increase their acceptance. Validated and standardized questionnaires to measure the quality aspects of teleconsultation relevant from the patients' perspective are not available yet. We aim to develop such a questionnaire.
