Abstract

Telemedicine has a strategic role in providing timely medical care and containing the spread of infectious diseases. Despite its importance, telemedicine is largely underdeveloped in developing countries. This paper attempts to explore the factors influencing telemedicine usage by conducting case studies in two Chinese hospitals. Based on a research model we proposed, factors are identified that are likely to affect the use of telemedicine.
