Give your patients access to dermatologic care from

UMMC in your own office or clinic. Using store-and-

forward telehealth technology, you can securely send

patient information and digital images to a UMMC

dermatologist. The specialist will review the case

and make a recommendation, often within 24 hours.

With telehealth, you can address conditions that

might otherwise go untreated.

UMMC is open to all payer types, including Medicare

and Medicaid.

UMMC Telehealth is an effective way to:

• Reduce wait times for appointments from

months to days

• Diagnose and treat melanoma and other skin

cancers more quickly

• Offer care in medical clinics and hospitals

that do not have dermatologists on staff

• Bring specialized dermatology services

to more communities

• Provide education, consultation and treatment

for a variety of skin conditions such as sun-damaged

skin, hyperpigmentation, psoriasis, eczema, acne, acne

scarring, age spots, rosacea, and other conditions

When dermatologic care is easily available, patients are healthier.

Telehealth is personal healthcare delivered through technology. Using interactive,

online video tools, UMMC care teams can assess and treat patients and consult

with caregivers in other locations.

DIAGNOSING AND TREATING SKIN

CONDITIONS SOONER

Dr. Ben Wilde, Ellen Taylor’s primary care

physician, notices changes in a mole

on Ellen’s back. Dr. Wilde sends Ellen’s

health record and pictures of her mole

to a UMMC telehealth dermatologist.

The next day, Dr. Wilde receives a treatment

recommendation based on the information

he sent. Together, the two doctors create

and implement an aggressive treatment

plan for Ellen’s noncomplex melanoma.

Dermatology services available through

UMMC Telehealth include:

• Medical dermatology

• Pediatric dermatology

• Complex medical dermatology

• Diagnosis and treatment for skin lymphoma

and other skin cancers

• Mohs surgery evaluations for skin cancers,

melanoma and other dermapathologies

UMMC CAN PROVIDE IN-PERSON CARE IF NEEDED.

Many patients can be successfully treated through

telehealth. When patients do require hands-on care,

our telehealth providers can refer them to an appropriate

facility. Whether it’s telehealth or hands-on treatment,

patients receive the same high level of care backed

by Mississippi’s only academic medical center.
