Telehealth Systems Deployment: A Multilevel Research Agenda

Abstract

One common approach to make sure that the provision of primary care is available and effective in remote areas is the implementation of telehealth. This is a new field of experimentation with information and communication technologies (ICTs). Telehealth involves a new context of studies given the specificities of the health environment: organization, culture and professional practices. This paper seeks to promote and circumscribe a research agenda in this respect.
