Telemedicine: An Evolving Tool for Improving Health Care

In order for patients to receive quality medical care, high quality information must be available in order to make the next health care decision. Both accurate information about the patient and information about current medical science relating to the patient's condition must come together at the point of care. Advance information, sensor and telecommunication technologies have a significant role to play in this process. This presentation will discuss how these technologies are being applied to improve care, particularly to areas that traditionally have lacked specialty expertise. Evidence for the effectiveness of telemedicine and the future of telemedicine will also be discussed.
