| Popis: | The practice of pediatric surgery has become increasingly demanding, requiring longer working hours with less reimbursement. Although manpower in this field is adequate, there are still areas that are underserved. Advances in technology offer the pediatric surgeon tools to improve efficiency of practice, cover wider areas of practice, and service underserved locations. The purpose of this report is to introduce the pediatric surgeon to telemedicine technology and its potential impact on the practice environment. The history, key components, and current applications of telemedicine are presented. The ability to integrate this technology in pediatric surgical practice holds great potential. |
