Consult | As not all cutaneous lesions can be viewed appropriately via computer, some exclusion criteria apply. For example:
Telemedicine Consultation Request Form Considerable expenses are incurred to deliver Telemedicine service; it is NOT intended to be used as a primary tool, but rather for problem, complex recurrent or urgent conditions only. An interim report will follow via fax on the day the patient is seen. A full consultation report will follow by mail. |
