Health care providers riding the information superhighway.
Telehealth is the practice of providing health care services to people who are distant from the provider by the use of telecommunications and information technology. These services include client care, consultations, education, and research. Concerns include financial cost, reimbursement, liability, licensure, and confidentiality. Research to document treatment cost-effectiveness and efficacy is ongoing.
