Telemedicine can improve access to specialist care and reduce time to treatment. This systematic review including 44 articles examined the diagnostic agreement between teledermatology and face-to-face consults. The overall average diagnostic agreement was 68.9%, but subgroup analyses identified significantly higher agreement when dermatologists conducted face-to-face and teledermatology consults, rather than non-specialists (i.e., primary care or emergency medicine physicians).
