Greetings,
The question of health care and the digital divide issues that are being
raised about knowing and data are central to discussions that are
happening in medical education and diagnosis communities. A recent book
Actually the discussion of Taran about social-networking HAS a lot to do with
digital divide.
Assuming you are in need of some critical information, but you do not know
where to find them (I know these days one can just go Googleling for info or
Wikipediaing), don't you think it is nice if

That's the crux of the discussion we're having, I think. How can you say

remote villages. Is this additive? Is it helpful? Don't know. No data. Yet.
--Here in North Carolina, there is a multi-node telepsychiatry initiative;
T1s to rural sites to bring diagnostic
This is an interesting discussion, though it may be an easier one to have as a
set of narrower questions on a web discussion.
I agree that the use of data, both qualitative and quantitative, would be
ultimately vital to determining impact and perhaps not enough as been done.
Just as important
