The collection of data is a vital step in assuring that a system works, a method is correct and the process is adequate. As data is collected databases are created. These databases could be nothing more than a box or it could be in a computer-based, indexed database. Over the past 200 years, technology has played an increasingly larger role in health care delivery. With the advent of telecommunications capabilities and information systems, medicine has embraced these two disciplines, resulting in a new tool - telemedicine. This new tool is undergoing rigorous peer review and scientific challenge. This has lead to a plethora of data, which indicates telemedicine is an excellent tool for medicine.
数据收集是确保系统正常运行、方法正确且流程恰当的关键步骤。随着数据的收集，数据库得以创建。这些数据库可能不过是一个盒子，也可能是基于计算机的索引数据库。在过去的200年里，技术在医疗保健服务中发挥着越来越重要的作用。随着电信能力和信息系统的出现，医学接纳了这两个学科，从而产生了一种新工具——远程医疗。这种新工具正在接受严格的同行评审和科学挑战。这已产生了大量数据，表明远程医疗是医学的一种出色工具。
