Abstract:
Telemedicine is a rapidly evolving technology. Health technology assessments of telemedicine applications are needed to assist decision-makers. A few health technology assessment reports and a Cochrane protocol on principles for evaluating telemedicine installations have been published. Studies providing evidence on the effectiveness of teleconsultations and teleradiology are summarised. Telemedicine shows great promise in some areas; however, the use of this technology should still be regarded as experimental. Therefore, it should be implemented in a way that facilitates ongoing evaluation.
