Telemedicine?the use of information and telecommunications
technologies to provide and support health care when distance
separates the participants?is receiving increasing attention not
only in remote areas where health care access is troublesome but
also in urban and suburban locations. Yet the benefits and costs of
this blend of medicine and digital technologies must be better
demonstrated before today's cautious decision-makers invest
significant funds in its development. Telemedicine presents a
framework for evaluating patient care applications of telemedicine.
The book identifies managerial, technical, policy, legal, and human
factors that must be taken into account in evaluating a
telemedicine program. The committee reviews previous efforts to
establish evaluation frameworks and reports on results from several
completed studies of image transmission, consulting from remote
locations, and other telemedicine programs. The committee also
examines basic elements of an evaluation and considers relevant
issues of quality, accessibility, and cost of health care.
Telemedicine will be of immediate interest to anyone with interest
in the clinical application of telemedicine. Table of Contents
