Recenzii

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.
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.
