Abstract
Transferring Images: Teledermatology was first implemented in the Israel Defense forces one year
ago. The service is currently used in over 50 military units of all branches
(army, air force and navy) country-wide. Tele-consultations are fully
integrated into the central computerized patient record hence making it an
organic part of the medical information flow chart. To our best knowledge this
is one of the only fully integrated telemedicine systems used by large health
organizations.
