AHRQ's telemedicine projects depend on quick and efficient access to critical health information for clinicians. This access to images, EHRs, and decision support is best facilitated by broadband connection to hospitals, physician offices, and public health departments. This access can also reduce health care disparities by providing high-quality and safe health care services for patients who cannot always travel the great distances sometimes required to receive appropriate care.
