The patient trajectory: A modelling tool for planning rural telemedicine systems

Maxine L. Rockoff and Arthur M. Bennett

Telecommunications Policy, 1979, vol. 3, issue 1, 15-28

Abstract: The authors present an analytical tool developed and applied to plan for the use of telecommunications technology to link a non-physician health care provider in a rural satellite clinic to a central source of medical expertise. The principal result obtained is that narrowband technologies appear nearly two- thirds as effective as broadband technologies in averting patient travel.
