Abstract

Many pediatric patients face barriers to accessing dermatologic care. A non-profit electronic specialty consultation (eConsult) organization worked with a medical technology company to launch an innovative dermatology eConsult program at 5 School-Based Health Center locations which are part of a statewide Federally-Qualified Health Center. We present a patient case study that highlights the immediate impact these platforms can have on the lives of young patients with skin disease.
