Abstract

Telemedicine has been shown to be an effective alternative technique to provide health services to rural and remote communities. Although the interest in telemedicine is growing, there is little evidence to show the quality and reliability of telemedicine techniques. This chapter describes the telepaediatric service in Queensland, Australia outlining some evidence for quality, reliability and sustainability.
