Resumen

Thanks in large part to the invention of new technologies, teledermatopathology has gained traction as being an integral part in the practice of dermatopathology. Aside from the obvious convenience of being able to view histologic slides at remote locations, the technology offers the potential for enhancing patient care by allowing expert consultation services, increasing physician wellness, and integrating the application of diagnostic software. The cost has been a key concern in introducing digital systems into a laboratory; the introduction of billing codes and further validation with regulatory approval has improved the ability to gauge the feasibility of purchasing equipment. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
