Telemedicine involves the use of electronic communications to enable health care providers at different locations to share individual patient medical information for the purpose of improving patient care.

The information may be used for diagnosis, therapy, follow-up and/or education, and may include any of the following:

1. Patient medical records
2. Medical images
3. Live two-way audio and video
4. Output data from medical devices and sound and video files
