Abstract

Common dermatologic conditions and skin signs of systemic disease are routinely present in hospitalized patients. Rapid detection and identification of these changes can have a significant impact on the patient's hospital course. Inpatient dermatology consultation can improve diagnostic accuracy, efficiency, and treatment of hospitalized patients with cutaneous findings. This article discusses the clinical aspects of inpatient dermatology consultation and the features of effective consultation.
