Telemedicine represents a broad range of medical applications including education and distance learning, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease, exchanging of information with healthcare providers and consumers, research, and evaluation. These functions and more can be accomplished and performed from a distance when a robust information communication infrastructure is deployed. This article is an exploratory study that seeks to determine the levels of telemedicine usage utilizing technology acceptance model (TAM) as its theoretical basis.
