Telemedicine undoubtedly will be an integral part of future healthcare delivery models -- in fact, it may become the predominant mode of care delivery. Also called telehealth, telemedicine allows for more effective and efficient ways for doctors and other healthcare providers to treat patients and improve health outcomes. Top roadblocks to adoption and implementation include limited or absent reimbursement for telemedicine services and resistance to make the shift from traditional face-to-face care delivery models. As for the cultural shift needed to implement a telemedicine solution, the IT team of an organization needs to work with clinical staff to ensure the new system integrates with the existing IT and health information infrastructure.
