The province has 4 communes, or administrative districts, as follows: Palena, Chaitén, Futaleufú, and Hualaihué. This study concentrates on teledermatology in the first 3 districts, where the delivery of services is complex due to the great dispersion of the population and extreme isolation (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>). Each of these districts has a hospital, or clinic, that manages several rural health care outposts, or stations. Communities in Chaitén are the most widely dispersed and it therefore has the largest number of outposts. In response to this district's geographic complexity, Chaitén also has a Community Family Health Center (known by its Spanish abbreviation, CECOSF) in Ayacara.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This study aimed to analyze the teledermatology support provided to 4 clinics in these 3 districts in terms of the demographic characteristics of the users, the mean time until a specialist diagnosis was reached, the need for direct physical evaluation by the dermatologist or not, and agreement between the diagnoses of the general practitioner and the dermatologist.

This observation may be attributable to the limited internet connection after the volcanic eruption of 2008 and the fact that the proximity of the Hospital de Palena to the city of Puerto Montt could have encouraged direct consultation of public or private dermatologists.</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Inflammatory skin diseases (dermatitis and similar conditions) generated the largest number of teledermatology consultations registered by both primary care clinics and the dermatologist at Hospital de Puerto Montt.

These significant differences reflect the public health system's problems in managing the delivery of care in remote regions, showing that a contracted specialist can drastically decrease waiting times. Furthermore, the fact that longer waiting times are associated with the need for direct physical examination of the patient shows that there is considerable delay in assigning follow-up visits, possibly attributable to either the scarce availability of dermatologists or administrative delays in scheduling. Fortunately, only a little over a fifth of the teledermatology consultations required physical examination for diagnosis, showing that the primary care system has great potential to resolve most cases if supported by this innovative approach.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0085">Conclusions</span><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This in-depth analysis of the actual clinical use of a teledermatology system supports its use for the delivery of public health care. The approach is potentially very important for patients in remote areas who otherwise would have no access to specialists. General practitioners need further training to hone their diagnostic skills. Strategies to arrange transport for patients who urgently need to be examined physically should be developed. Further studies of this approach in other districts with isolated communities are needed to provide additional examples of how far this technology can be extended.</p></span><span id="sec0030" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0090">Conflicts of Interest</span><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:11 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1252322" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" "titulo" => "Background" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" "titulo" => "Material and methods" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0020" "titulo" => "Conclusions" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1160802" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1252321" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:4 [ 0 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0025" "titulo" => "Introducción" ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0030" "titulo" => "Material y métodos" ] 2 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0035" "titulo" => "Resultados" ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "abst0040" "titulo" => "Conclusiones" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1160803" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Material and Methods" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Results" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Conclusions" ] 9 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0030" "titulo" => "Conflicts of Interest" ] 10 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2018-10-27" "fechaAceptado" => "2019-01-22" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1160802" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Telemedicine" 1 => "Rural populations" 2 => "Diagnostic agreement" 3 => "Waiting lists" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1160803" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Telemedicina" 1 => "Población rural" 2 => "Concordancia diagnóstica" 3 => "Listas de espera" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:3 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0010">Background</span><p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">Teledermatology was introduced in Chile to make up for the lack of dermatologists and improve the primary care system's ability to resolve problems.
