Let's start with appropriateness of consult. We are trying hard to limit nonurgent consults for the above reasons. The following can wait for when #coronavirus isn't everywhere.
- nonmelanoma skin CA
- old rashes with a known dx
- missed a derm appt and happens to be in house

If it's an urgent issue, it's helpful to start with the photo. Any camera phone should be fine. If on Epic, you can use Haiku to upload directly the the EMR.

NB: texting photos isn't HIPAA compliant. We'll usually refer to the EMR, or email the photos in a secure system.
