Abstract
This study developed as a result of a discussion by the Telemedicine Task Force Committee concerning the cost effectiveness of alternative telemedicine systems. The basis of the study is an analysis of the published and unpublished reports on the uses and impacts of telemedicine systems. The survey was considered to be useful in establishing a benchmark for the ongoing Case Western Reserve University Study. The central approach followed in the study is to collect documented reports of telemedicine evaluations studies. The factors affecting cost effectiveness of telemedicine are investigated.
