Abstract
A groups of physicians continue to provide more of their activities in sites remote from the central office, communication among providers and staff and the provision of common educational activities are important priorities. An analysis of a 12-month period of the use of full-motion interactive video technology to accomplish these goals in a decentralized academic department shows this method to be acceptable and cost-effective. Careful attention to room environment and staff support were found to be important. Practical recommendations are provided for those considering the use of this technology.
