Describes the technology's current diffusion and identifies keys to success, noting that it has not yet benefited rural health because small hospitals generally lack the necessary financial and technical expertise to adopt it.

Primarily reports on the telemedicine program at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, considered among the best.
