title: Advances in telemedicine in the 21st century.
abstract: Increasing demands on practitioners' time and increasing complexity of patient education and management have created a demand for creative solutions to providing for those needs. Telemedicine can answer some of those needs. Further documentation of the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of telemedicine and education is important but should not hinder the provision of care that is required yet unavailable by traditional means.
