摘要

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) sponsored the IOM in holding a workshop in Washington, DC, on August 8-9, 2012, to examine how the use of telehealth technology can fit into the U.S. health care system. HRSA asked the IOM to focus on the potential for telehealth to serve geographically isolated individuals and extend the reach of scarce resources while also emphasizing the quality and value in the delivery of health care services.
