Webequie KO Telehealth Community Bulletin Board ************************** What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to deliver health services, expertise and information over distance. It includes Internet or web-based “e-health” and video-based applications, and can be delivered real-time (live) or through store and forward (record now, view later) mode.

Telehealth is changing the way we think about health and provide healthcare in Canada. It supports innovations in health, as well as in healthcare delivery, health education, and distribution of health related information such as medical records. Telehealth is adding value.

Telehealth is also changing the way we think about health and conduct healthcare around the world. It is a unique global tool which has the capability to cross all existing geographical, temporal, political, social and cultural barriers within the health sector. Telehealth will impact us all.
