Evaluation of Store-and-Forward Teledermatology Versus a Face-to-Face Assessment During a Skin Cancer Screening Event

The purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic and management concordance of face-to-face dermatologist versus a store-and-forward teledermatologist at a skin cancer screening event.

The investigators' hypotheses include the following:

1. Compared to in-person assessment, store-and-forward teledermatology assessment will result in adequate diagnostic concordance. 2. Compared to in-person assessment, store-and-forward teledermatology results in adequate management concordance. 3. The sensitivity and specificity of store-and-forward evaluation to detecting lesions that are either premalignant or malignant will be similar to that of in-person evaluation.

Treatment and study plan

Store-and-forward teledermatology evaluation

Other

Every patient will be evaluated online via a store and forward teledermatology modality.

Other names: Health care modality

Primary outcomes

  1. Aggregated diagnostic concordance

    Time frame: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

    Aggregated diagnostic concordance which is defined as the agreement of the in-person dermatologist's principle diagnosis with the teledermatologist's primary diagnosis or any of the differential diagnoses.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Primary diagnostic concordance

    Time frame: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

    Diagnostic concordance between the in-person dermatologist and the teledermatologist for their primary diagnosis.

  2. Categorical diagnostic concordance

    Time frame: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

    Diagnostic concordance between the in-person dermatologist and teledermatologist based on standard clinical diagnostic categories for each lesion.

  3. Management concordance

    Time frame: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

    The concordance between the in-person dermatologist and teledermatologist for the chosen management plan for each lesion.

  4. Sensitivity

    Time frame: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

    The sensitivity of store-and-forward evaluation to detecting lesions that are either premalignant or malignant.

  5. Specificity

    Time frame: At the time of dermatologist evaluation (Day 1)

    The specificity of store-and-forward evaluation to detecting lesions that are either premalignant or malignant.
