摘要：The first definitions of telemedicine come from 1970s but the first attempts to use communication tools in medicine were described at least one hundred years before. As the increasingly better opportunities of data transmission emerged,new and more complex telemedicine systems were developed. The reasons for the development of the first telemedicine systems included the necessity to provide access to medical assistance in sparsely populated areas,emergency situations or during sea or air travel. Issues concerning the enhancement of medical care,the access to medical data or the possibility to receive specialist consultation started to gain in importance with the development of ICT technologies. Recently,eHealth is the key term to be used in ICT application in healthcare. It refers both to contacts between medical staff and patients,or between medical staff,and the online access of patients,their relatives and all citizens to health data as well as the development of IT systems in medical institutions and any other healthcare entities and the provision of such support activities as online registration or e-prescribing.
