Point-of-care decision support for appropriate acne management

Background: Referral from primary care providers for acne is a costly process associated with high no-show rates and delayed treatment. We previously demonstrated that models of algorithm-based acne care may lead to reductions in the rate of dermatology referrals, missed appointments, and delayed treatment. In this retrospective chart analysis, we evaluate the impact of an electronic decision support tool on the management of patients referred for acne.
