Improving the quality of healthcare while increasing accessibility and lowering costs is a complex dilemma facing rural counties. The Center for Rural Pennsylvania believed that telehealth, the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support long-distance clinical healthcare was a viable solution, so it recently provided grants to conduct a thorough investigation into the factors involved. This book reports the outcome of this year-long investigation. Illustrating telehealth implementations in rural settings, it supplies an overview of telehealth as well as an assessment of its economic impact.
