Teledermatology in the Israel Defence Forces: Quality Assessment Through User Satisfaction

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.
