Excerpt

Total body photography (TBP) with and without sequential digital dermoscopy imaging (SDDI) facilitates recognition and monitoring of lesions suspicious for skin cancer, especially for patients at high-risk for melanoma. The clinical benefit of TBP has been demonstrated in previous studies by metrics such as benign-to-malignant ratio and number needed to biopsy [1, 2]. However, the potential of TBP systems has not been fully explored. Developing and deploying robust data solutions is necessary to integrate multi-level data for quality improvement and clinical research. The aim of this manuscript is to present how our automated dashboard displaying near-real time metrics of standard outcomes enables evaluation of 3D-TBP with SDDI at our institution. …
