This report concluded that despite the establishment of some isolated, and world class, telemedicine networks, telemedicine in Australia remains fragmented and uncoordinated. If it is to live up to its potential and be widely diffused throughout the health sector, it must become integrated into mainstream health care. Such integration would require  active participation by all parties, inlcuding the Government, business and consumers.
