An Innovative Model for Providing Dermatology Services Within Primary Care.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Dermatologic complaints are common in outpatient pediatrics. However, pediatric dermatology specialty care can be difficult to access. We aimed to test the feasibility of co-locating dermatology services within primary care and increase the proportion of patients treated for basic skin complaints within the medical home while decreasing wait times. METHODS:The Rapid Assessment of Skin Health (RASH) clinic was created within a hospital-based primary care clinic in 11/2013. The clinic was staffed by 2 pediatricians trained in the dermatology department and supported with specialist advice as needed. Referral volume and wait times to dermatology and RASH clinic were tracked for visits between 11/1/12 and 10/31/18. A chart review was also conducted on a subset of RASH clinic visits. Primary care providers (PCPs) were surveyed about their experiences. RESULTS:Fifty-eight percent of patients referred for a dermatologic complaint were scheduled in RASH clinic. Wait times for new patient appointments in RASH clinic were significantly shorter than for new dermatology appointments in the previous 12 months (mean 36 days vs 65 days, P < .001). The monthly number of referrals to dermatology also decreased significantly after the RASH clinic opened (24/month vs 12/month, P < .001). Ten percent of RASH patients were referred on to dermatology. In a survey of PCPs (N = 67), 76% said the RASH clinic was "extremely/very helpful." CONCLUSIONS:Providing dermatologic care to low or moderate complexity patients within the medical home is feasible and leads to better access to care. This innovative model could be spread to other clinics and subspecialties.
