This investigation builds on that fundamental diagnostic information by assessing the health services implications of a teledermatology consult system.\n\nObjectives:\n\nTo investigate health services outcomes related to teledermatology implementation. Outcomes of interest were time to diagnosis and treatment initiation, the proportion of patients that avoided the need for a clinic-based encounter, and an economic analysis.\n\nMethods:\n\nPatients referred from the primary care clinics to the dermatology consult service were randomized to either usual care or a teledermatology consultation. A usual care consultation consisted a conventional text-based electronic consult request. A teledermatology consultation included digital images and a standardized history, in addition to the electronic text-based consult. Consultant dermatologists, reviewing the consult requests for both modalities, decided when, and if, a referral required a clinic-based evaluation.\n\nStatus:\n\nFinal report has been prepared and is in the review process at this time.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nPatients referred to Dermatology Consult Service.\n\nExclusion Criteria:'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00013234', 'briefTitle': 'Health Services Implications of a Teledermatology Consult System', 'organization': {'class': 'FED', 'fullName': 'VA Office of Research and Development'}, 'officialTitle': 'Health Services Implications of a Teledermatology Consult System', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'IIR 98-159'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'Arm 1', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Teledermatology']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Teledermatology', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'armGroupLabels': ['Arm 1']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '27705', 'city': 'Durham', 'state': 'North Carolina', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Durham VA Medical Center, Durham, NC', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 35.99403, 'lon': -78.89862}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'John D.
