Among examples of cost savings and other health benefits and efficiencies obtained through telemedicine were the following:
- A study of 4,000 patients showed that remote monitoring programs reduced rates of admission to hospital for chronic heart failure by 21 percent and all causes of mortality by 20 percent.
- A 1,300-patient study has shown that telemedicine can be effectively used to support patients in the self-management of oral anticoagulation therapy.
