South African Computer Journal, vol. 30(1): 128-1601015-79992313-7835http://sacj.cs.uct.ac.za/index.php/sacj/article/view/559DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.18489/sacj.v30i1.559http://hdl.handle.net/10204/10333Copyright © 2018 The author(s); published under a Creative Commons NonCommercial 4.0 License (CC BY-NC 4.0)South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province began synchronous teledermatology in 2003, followed by spontaneous asynchronous (mobile) teledermatology in 2013. No scale-up has been formally planned. This paper establishes design requirements that will inform the identification or de novo development of a teledermatology scale-up framework. Methods: A requirements definition process with inductive reasoning approaches was applied. Analysis of semi-structured interviews (19) with key teledermatology stakeholders (17) and observations from two teledermatology programmes, informed by lessons learned from prior teledermatology implementation attempts, eHealth scale-up literature and authors’ expert opinion, led to identification of Themes, and iterative reflection gave rise to Categories and Requirements. Results: Teledermatology scale-up framework design requirements emerged comprised of themes (4), categories (12), and specific design requirements (30). Discussion: This paper describes a process and resulting evidence-based (stakeholder interviews; programme observations; literature) and experience-based (expert opinion) design requirements to inform the identification and adoption / adaptation or de novo development of a teledermatology scale-up framework (TDSF) for KwaZulu-Natal’s public health sector. The proposed approach is recommended as a pre-requisite for scaling, including in other settings and for other telehealth applications.enRequirements definitionRequirements elicitationScale-up frameworkTeledermatologyArticleWalters, L.
