Abstract

[The evolution of telehealth is defined as the change of telehealth over time, and how it is developing into a system of health care delivery and exchange of information for participants over distance. The term ‘separated’ is becoming less of a key element in the current definition of telehealth as we seek to transition telehealth into an integrated mainstream health care system that is useful for people everywhere and not just for people in rural and remote locations. An integrated telehealth service enables economies of scale that ensure an affordable and efficient system which is available in a timely way, for anyone with access challenges. This ensures that the needs of people in rural and remote areas are more likely to be met but it also creates a more affordable and efficient system. We are now beginning to see that telehealth is not just a second best option if you cannot be there in person, but in some instances, telehealth is the best choice, no matter where you live.]
