The 5-Day Dermatology Consult

• Reduce the patient wait time needed to consult with an Ontario dermatologist

• Eliminate the need for your residents to travel; reduce inconvenience, risk of injury and exposure to infection

• Add a well-regarded in-house resource for your residents at no cost to you

TeledermSF Moving information. Not the patient.

Long-term care homes are pressured on all sides to provide better care, in less time,

at less cost. TeledermSF enables you to dramatically improve the quality of service

you provide:

Bringing resources to the patient, not the other way around.

Residents and their loved ones may experience frustration and confusion with the referral

process, especially when it requires travel, long waiting periods or a change in routines.

Using advanced technology, TeledermSF simplifies the referral process, making it easier for

residents to receive an accurate dermatological diagnosis in much less time – and helping

you to provide peace of mind for residents and their families.

Because travel is eliminated, exposure to injury or infection is reduced. And without travel

or time spent in waiting rooms, residents will be more at ease and feel more secure. Many

will perceive TeledermSF as a welcome extension of the services your facility provides.

Less waiting. Less risk. Better care.

Telederm for Long-term Care Homes

Experience shows that 95%

of dermatology referrals can

be diagnosed through

TeledermSF – without the need

for a face-to-face appointment

with the specialist. It’s remarkably

effective in promoting faster

access to care and is receiving wide

acceptance across Ontario.

Consulting made easy.

TeledermSF eliminates the need for patient travel and greatly minimizes waiting

time. Simply take a digital photo of the skin condition and then upload the image,

along with patient information, using simple, yet secure, software. All that’s

needed is a digital camera or a kit that can be purchased from OTN.

The TeledermSF kit consists of a digital camera, cables, USB key, reference rulers, complete instructions and case. The camera and software are easy to use and provide crucial and accurate information to the dermatologist.

Connecting resources to local care.

Armed with digital images and information transmitted through TeledermSF,

an Ontario dermatologist can quickly consult with the referring physician

caring for your resident, and usually provide a diagnosis and treatment plan

without additional follow-up. This dialogue dramatically improves the speed

and convenience of patient care, while preserving the privacy and security

of medical information.

There is no fee for using TeledermSF. In fact, the

service eliminates the cost and inconvenience

of travel and reduces wait times to improve your

patients’ quality of life. You also don’t have to

spend time sourcing an available dermatologist.

Simply upload your files and you automatically

get a 5-day consult from one of the many Ontario

dermatologists registered with OTN.
