Description

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) uses electronic information technology and communication technology to ensure excellence in the health care it delivers to the nation's veterans. The term "telehealth" applies to the use of these technologies to provide clinical care, patient education, provider education and hospital administration in circumstances where distance separates those receiving services and those providing services.
