Telehealth solutions improve patient access to an equal or superior quality of care with
increased efficiency and reduced cost. As Elena Karahanna will tell you, technological
innovations are only as useful as the public's willingness to embrace them. The L. Edmund
Rast Professor of Management Information Systems at the Terry College is an expert
researcher of information systems and e-health. Her current work examines the
implementation of telehealth solutions and the factors that influence patient and physician
acceptance of these services. Karahanna's efforts inform academia and business practice in
meaningful ways that help telemedicine deliver on its promise.
