What can QualityDerm do for you?
Medical Dermatology involves the evaluation, diagnosis, planning, and treatment of cutaneous presentations, conditions, and diseases which affect the skin, hair, and nails. Pathology will range from common conditions like acne or eczema to more complex presentations such as bullous disease or cutaneous lymphoma. Sub-specialties in dermatology practice include pediatric, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology.
Dermatology DNPs identify the patient’s need for dermatologic care using comprehensive assessment and diagnostic reasoning to elicit relevant data about a patient’s condition. The process includes conducting a comprehensive health history, medication review, and the interpretation of laboratory studies and pathology reports to establish a differential diagnosis. The NP consults and refers to dermatologists, dermatopathologists, dermatology surgeons, oncologists, rheumatologists, primary care providers, and many other health care professionals as appropriate to provide comprehensive care.
