Digitized edition from print [produced by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada]. Includes bibliographical references. "The general purpose of this document is to establish the salient features and characteristics of operational telemedicine systems, and incorporate these into a guide for the development of a Canadian telemedicine policy framework. It will serve to clarify what has been achieved in the field of telemedicine, by whom, how, and with what effects on the delivery of health care. To the best of the author's knowledge, there is no single Canadian document to date containing the evolution, thrust, and impact of telemedicine systems as a whole, although many single experiments, projects, etc. have been reported. Canada is in the fortunate position of being able to learn from the American experiences in the field, and a concise summary of major events in telemedicine could enhance or at least facilitate this learning position. In this light, the document will concentrate on projects reported in the U.S., and their applicability to the development of telemedicine in Canada"--Preface.
