Lessons learned from a telehomecare project.
This article provides an update on the results of the Telehomecare Project, a demonstration funded by the US Department of Commerce through its Technology Opportunity Program. The goal of the project was to demonstrate and evaluate the use of telephone-based information technology (IT) in the provision of home health services.
