Popis: Telemedicine is a method that uses current telecommunications and information technologies to deliver health care to individuals at a distance. This encompasses the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and education of patients using systems that allow access to expert advice and patient information regardless of the patient, provider or information location. Telemedicine systems have been implemented for the past 25 years with marginal success. The integration of their technological and human components has seldom been satisfactorily evaluated. The purpose of this panel is to encourage a forum for the discussion of the panel's and the audience's experiences in telemedicine. The goal is to establish a dialogue that can continue during the development of telemedicine evaluation methodologies. Toward this end, the five panel speakers will briefly discuss their experiences in the field, followed by audience discussion of their own experiences, and closing with a summary of this discussion by the panel chair.
