The paper provides an in-depth account of the review methodology and outlines results of the analysis of 58 studies both in the aggregate as well as by disease category. Of particular note to the PRAXIS member will be the overall finding that telehealth appears to be more beneficial for chronic diseases such as pulmonary or cardiovascular disease than acute illnesses.
