Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Telemedicine has been shown to have a considerable impact in medical education, conferencing and consultation. As a result, the People's Republic of China has been keen to develop telemedicine. In her attempts to further the development of telemedicine, China has looked to the progress of medical services in Western countries such as Europe and North America. The United States of America, however, has exceeded the rest in exchange of health-care information and telemedicine technologies with China. Although China has been enthusiastic about the exchange, telemedicine in China requires development in the technical infrastructure and professional infrastructure.
