It probably isn’t very important for the sort of clinical photography GPs do, and perhaps not particularly for Dermatologists and plastic surgeons, but neither is it difficult to provide a colour index with a photograph. The QP201 card or any other sort of colour standard card either included in the photo, or carefully photographed under the same conditions would do it. Going the whole way and calibrating printers and screens is probably not going to happen anytime soon. Dental photography may be a bit more demanding of white balance and white points in some cases I suspect.
