Benefits from Telemedicine in Norway
Project description
What are the benefits of telemedicine for Norwegian health services? What kind of results can be shown? The background for this project was to shed light on these questions, both in regard to economic and qualitative aspects. A report from the project should give a presentation built upon available documentation from telemedical services and projects.
The project was finished spring 2006 and a report from the project describes and systemises documented benefits for Norwegian health services. Relevant projects and services have been identified and available documentation of both economic and qualitative benefits has been reviewed. The report deals with realised benefits of telemedicine. Services that show potential for benefits have also been included.
The Norwegian Centre for Telemedicine (NST) has completed the project, with NORUT Social Science Research as co-operating partner. The project was financed by funds from Høykom (www.hoykom.no) and a contribution from NST.
