Pediatric Telemedicine – Research
The Pediatric Telemedicine Program has been actively conducting research on the use of telemedicine for more than 15 years. The clinical and research teams evaluate the impact of telemedicine on quality of care, health outcomes, child development, cost effectiveness, as well as parent, patient and family satisfaction. Our research team is considered an international leader in pediatric telemedicine research, has been a part of more than 10 federal grants and has published more than 50 publications in peer review journals, eight review articles, and five book chapters.
