TRANSCRIPT
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.
