Canada. Industry Canada. Health Industries Branch. Telehealth industry. Part 1, Overview and prospects, c1998: p. 9 ("there are few definitions to aptly define telehealth, an integrating and more holistic term encompassing all of the telematics applications in health and health care. In Europe, the field is referred to as health care telematics. The definition of telehealth as "the use of communications and information technology to deliver health and health care services and information over large and small distances" reflects the changing nature of the twin fields of health and medical information on the one hand, and telemedicine on the other hand.")
