DataDerm 2.0 - A New Era of Leveraging Technology to Add Value to Patients and Practices
Description
Dr. Jeff Jacobs delivered a recorded presentation on DataDerm 2.0, focusing on its history, current status, and positioning within the national registry landscape. He discussed the evolution of DataDerm, initiated by the American Academy of Dermatology, which launched in 2016 and has since expanded to encompass over 1,700 dermatology practices, 6,000 clinicians, and 16 million patients. Jacobs compared DataDerm to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons National Database, emphasizing similar goals in quality measurement, research, and data penetration. He highlighted the significant strides DataDerm has made, akin to the STS database, which took years to establish robust participation. Jacobs noted the completion and accuracy of DataDerm data surpasses industry norms, validating its quality. He summarized the progress of DataDerm alongside STS, reiterating that registry growth requires time and the anticipated evolution of platforms and functions is normal in this setting. He expressed optimism about DataDerm's future in capturing comprehensive dermatological patient data and the academic fulfillment it has brought him.
