Objectives:
Telemedicine is developed in response to the needs of users that results in a more viable model. Yale has developed a process called tele-affiliation to combine services that are customized to the international client's needs.

Several defined steps compose the tele-affiliation process. The Yale-Greece telemedicine program is used as an illustration of this process. Some of the programs developed in response to Greek needs include breast cancer clinics, women's health clinics and tele-homecare monitoring for post-operative and chronically ill patients.
Results:
Tele-affiliation creates on infrastructure that has the potential to change the method of health care delivery. By using the infrastructure created by the tele-affiliation process, templates for disease management, as well as health promotion and education can be delivered to a global audience.
Conclusions:
A tele-affiliation education environment has been developed and tested between Yale University School of Medicine and Greece resulting in an improved infrastructure for health education and management.
