title: Telemedicine equipment and vendors: the users' perspectives.
abstract: The ATSP (Association of Telemedicine Service Providers) supplies current and future telemedicine providers with practical information and other services. One way to obtain useful data is to conduct focused studies on important issues. This ATSP survey of vendor and equipment satisfaction is a collaborative effort between the Telemedicine Research Center and the ATSP research staff, and addresses some basic questions that telemedicine providers might have: What kinds of equipment are programs using? Who is providing this equipment? How do users rate the equipment and the vendors? The results will be periodically updated and made available to members in the members-only section of the ATSP website (www.atsp.org).
