Adam Darkins, M.D., chief consultant, Care Coordination Services, Department of Veterans Affairs, leads the VA's national tele-health programs. Dr. Darkins says that it's not a matter of if tele-health is adopted, but how it will be adopted. He says sees a day when the term "tele-health" doesn't exist, and medical consultations over distance are just thought of simply as health consultations. Within in the VA, health informatics and disease management technologies are used to enhance and extend care and medical case management.
