Telemedicine in general practice - aspects of communication

Telemedicine in the family practice - Aspects of communication is published by the authors A. Waschkau, R. Allner, S. Fischer and J. Steinhäuser in the "Journal of General Medicine".

As part of the 51st Congress of the German Society for General Medicine and Family Medicine in Düsseldorf Alexander Waschkau led a workshop on "Telemedicine applications in the family practice".
In the process, GPs, other health professionals and students discussed their own previous experience with existing telemedical solutions and raised their expectations and needs. Another focal point was the communicative aspects of telemedicine in primary care.

On the basis of the results of the workshop, the Institutes of Telematics and General Medicine prepare a publication in the Journal of General Medicine titled "Telemedicine in the General Practice - Aspects of Communication" 1.
