abstract="To meet the increasing need for rapid medical evaluation of allegations of child abuse in rural areas and the paucity of trained professionals to provide these evaluations, a model telemedicine network was designed and implemented initially in the State of Florida, USA. The utilization of various types of equipment, transmission modes, and electronic peripherals, will be discussed, as well as utilization of physician extenders for assessment. The expansion of this system for other medical uses will be summarized. Experiences in replication of the model in a southern Alabama rural county will be detailed.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
