Effectiveness of an Internet-Based Store-and-Forward Telemedicine System for Pediatric Subspecialty Consultation

Abstract

The Electronic Children's Hospital of the Pacific improved the quality of patient care by providing expeditious specialty consultation. Significant cost avoidance in this military pediatric population was documented. Store-and-forward Internet-based teleconsultation is an effective means of providing pediatric subspecialty consultation to a population of underserved children.
