Summary
Telehealth and telemedicine refer to the exchange of medical information from one location to another using telecommunication technology. Both have the goal of improving how and when people receive care. Telehealth broadly encompasses virtual services that support remote interactions using technology. Telemedicine is specific to the provision of clinical services when providers and patients are not in the same location.1 In this chapter, we discuss the complexity of generating evidence for telehealth, how to contextualize that evidence, and the current state of the evidence.
