Historical Perspectives: Telemedicine in Neonatology

Amber M Hoffman et al. Neoreviews. 2019 Mar.

Abstract

Telemedicine is fast becoming integrated into health care as a way to increase access for patients, particularly across the urban/rural divide. Use of telemedicine in neonatology is a newer, yet rapidly expanding modality. This review outlines the history of telemedicine, the evolution of its current uses in neonatology, requirements for starting a telemedicine program, and potential future uses.
