在过去的十年中，交互式通信技术在提供健康服务和教育方面的应用有了显著的增长。远程医疗，即利用电信技术进行保健，是一项具体应用，已得到大量公共和私人研究项目的资助。然而，远程医疗项目评价人员在其研究工作中遇到了一个严重障碍，即远程医疗的部署往往非常耗时，而且往往产生的利用水平不足以满足研究目的。本文旨在概述这个问题，通过一个多维远程医疗项目在密歇根州的成功和失败的案例分析。文章最后讨论了项目评估人员必须解决的五个普遍挑战，以实现利用水平，从而得出可靠的研究结论。
ABSTRACT The deployment of interactive communication technologies to deliver health services and education has grown significantly over the past decade. Telemedicine, the use of telecommunication technologies for health care, is one specific application that has enjoyed significant public and private funding for research projects. However, telemedicine project evaluators have run into a serious barrier in their research efforts, namely, the deployment of telemedicine is often tremendously time-consuming and often yields utilization levels inadequate for research purposes. This article seeks to overview this problem through a case analysis of a multidimensional telemedicine project in Michigan that enjoyed both success and failure. The article concludes with a discussion of five universal challenges that must be addressed for project evaluators to achieve utilization levels to allow for reliable research conclusions.
