Panel - Linking Barriers and Proposed Policy Initiatives:  The Case of Telemedicine and E-Health
The use of telecommunication technologies to deliver eGovernment services, online education and especially health services over a distance has enjoyed significant development over the past decade.  Yet actual utilization often falls short of the potential offered by this innovative means of delivery.  This panel will focus on the case of telemedicine and e-health, to link lessons learned from telemedicine research with current and future policy activities.  The case of telemedicine can inform policy research in other related areas such as digital libraries, eGovernment and online education.

Topics covered will include an overview of telecommunication initiatives related to telemedicine, a synthesis of research on challenges/barriers in telemedicine deployment and analysis of federal priorities.  Further discussion will touch on the convergence of legal issues with actual delivery of health services.  We'll finish with a discussion of current and future policy initiatives necessary to maximize telemedicine.
