Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish an online information service, the Telemedicine Information Exchange (TIE), offering a comprehensive resource for telemedicine.
  • To provide searchable, linked databases covering key aspects of telemedicine.

Main Methods:

  • Developed TIE with multiple databases: telemedicine bibliography (>2000 citations), current projects, products, services, legislation, funding, research, and news.
  • Implemented features like hypertext linking, specialized database views (technical, legal, business), and usage monitoring.
