Article Abstract:
Telemedicine has become a part of everyday health care, which is most evident in the VA health-care system that provides more than 300,000 telemedicine consultations per year, and the Institute of Medicine has cited this agency for its pace-setting work in this area. VA uses telemedicine to provide care in more than 30 medical specialty areas, and in many cases, telemedicine is as effective as face-to-face care.
