A university oncology department and a remote palliative care unit linked together by email and videoconferencing
We investigated the feasibility of using email and videoconferencing for clinical and educational support between oncologists at the University Hospital of North Norway and colleagues at the oncology and palliative care unit of the Nordland Hospital in Bodø. During a 12-month period, 23 cases (20 pa...
