JOURNAL OF TELEMEDICINE AND TELECARE

Telemedicine' has been defined in general terms to be 'medicine practised at a distance' and as such it encompasses both diagnosis and treatment, as well as medical education. During the last decade certain telemedicine applications, such as videoconsulting and teleradiology, have matured to become essential health care services. Others, such as telepathology, remain the subject of intensive research effort. The Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare publishes peer-reviewed papers on all aspects of both telemedicine and telecare - the latter covering distance nursing and community support. It is relevant to both the primary and secondary medical sectors, as well as having application to the veterinary field, and includes papers on all aspects of these emerging fields. In addition to original articles, the journal publishes preliminary communications, commissioned review articles, case reports, letters to the Editor and book reviews.

“远程医疗”一般被定义为“远程医疗”，因此它既包括诊断和治疗，也包括医学教育。在过去的十年中，某些远程医疗应用，如视频咨询和远程放射学，已经成熟成为基本的医疗服务。其他的，如心灵病理学，仍然是深入研究的主题。《远程医疗和远程护理杂志》发表了关于远程医疗和远程护理各方面的同行评议论文，后者涵盖了远程护理和社区支持。它涉及初级和二级医疗部门，以及在兽医领域的应用，并包括关于这些新兴领域所有方面的论文。除了原创文章，该杂志还出版初步通讯、委托评审文章、案例报告、致编辑的信函和书评。
