Telemedicine and telehealth are evolving so rapidly, with such protean manifestations, that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with current developments. Maheu, Whitten, and Allen — who bring together an impressively broad and deep knowledge of the field–do an exceptional job of integrating this information. The book is clearly written, and while it serves as a very good introduction for those new to telehealth, even those with much experience in the use of telecommunications technology in health care will find it informative and thought-provoking.
