Summary:
The second edition of this introductory guide to telemedicine and telecare services will be an invaluable guide to students and new practitioners in this growing and developing field of medicine. In rural and sparsely populated countries, telemedicine can be a vital and life-saving link in health care. In those countries where demands on hospitals is ever growing, telecare can provide a safe and comfortable alternative to hospital based therapy. This updated book will help you to assess the need for a service and how it can be implemented.


Reviews:

The second edition of Introduction to Telemedicine provides an accessible insight into informatics and allows health care professionals to assess how telemedicine might be applied to their working practice… The text has an international flavour, with numerous examples of how telemedicine is used in the United States, Australia and Scandinavia… The book is a useful starting point in understanding the relevance of telemedicine for practice.
Nursing Standard

Now in its second edition, this revised text meets a growing need for a straightforward overview of telemedicine… The authors are explicit about the health services dimension… Indeed most useful for an audience of health care workers considering telemedicine… It is pragmatic and even-handed, and the reader comes away with an appreciation of the realities of integrating telemedicine with routine care.
