Telemedicine offers the primary care physician an opportunity to improve time management while continuing to provide optimal, cost efficient care. The following paper offers a means with which to deliver such care and describes the relationship required between physician and patient to deliver optimal telemedical care. The Texas Telemedicine Project offered an avenue for the physician participants to explore the best delivery system with which to successfully employ telemedicine in the practice of medicine. Patients became comfortable with interactive healthcare delivery quickly, and preferred it as a means of receiving primary care as well as continuous physician monitoring during dialysis treatments. This study leads the authors to the opinion that telematic healthcare delivery will only be successful when the patient/physician relationship most closely mimics that of face-to-face contact.
远程医疗为初级保健医生提供了一个改善时间管理的机会，同时继续提供最佳的、具有成本效益的医疗服务。以下论文提供了一种提供此类医疗服务的方法，并描述了提供最佳远程医疗服务所需的医患关系。德克萨斯远程医疗项目为参与的医生提供了一条途径，以探索在医学实践中成功应用远程医疗的最佳交付系统。患者很快就适应了交互式医疗服务，并更喜欢它作为接受初级保健以及在透析治疗期间接受医生持续监测的一种方式。这项研究使作者得出这样的观点：只有当患者/医生关系最接近面对面接触时，远程医疗服务才会成功。
