Abstract
There is a common vision in health care today: to provide affordable, highquality care across the health continuum. However ideal, this is not what is happening. Neither the delivery systems in place nor the information available for decision making are adequate for today or the future. Healthcare reform and improved technologies are dramatically changing the systems and venues for health delivery. For example, when implemented broadly, telemedicine technology is said to reduce annual healthcare costs by at least $36 billion (Guterl, 1994). This includes home health electronic monitoring.
