Abstract
![CDATA[Conventional Telehealth activities aim at providing variants of existing health services at a distance, by adopting various telecommunications technology solutions for linking clinicians with patients or patientrelated information held elsewhere. Here we consider an approach for defining a view of Telehealth which is broader in scope, based on the different component factors which constitute a Telehealth activity rather than on pre-existing clinical processes. This approach provides a more constructive (bottom-up) environment in which the development of new Telehealth-enabled patient centred models of care is feasible. A taxonomic framework and related concepts corresponding to this approach are described, within which the development of generic standards for Telehealth activities could be undertaken. Some examples of new Telehealth initiatives which would rely on such standards are provided.]]
