Objective To investigate the suitable services of telemedicine at present and the future from the perspective of medical service supplier,clarify the challenges in the development of telemedicine services at present,and provide evidence-based suggestions for improving the quality of telemedicine services. Methods A questionnaire was developed through literature review for the survey of telemedicine services from the perspective of service providers.From January to June in 2020,electronic questionnaires were collected from volunteers.The data were collated and analyzed by Excel 2010 and SPSS 21.0. Results A total of 614 questionnaires were distributed,and 582 effective questionnaires were collected,which showed an effective rate of 94.79%.The participants of this study were mainly young healthcare workers,including doctors,nurses,technicians,and medical students.Among them,68.73% expressed concern to telemedicine services-related work,and more than 50% only had a basic understanding of the related work.The top five developable telemedicine/healthcare services were health management,online consultation,disease re-examination,disease screening,and difficult disease consultation,which were basically consistent with the services suitable for future development. Conclusions Healthcare workers have a high degree of recognition to the development of telemedicine services,while their understanding of the related technologies remains to be improved.The available telemedicine services focus on online consultation,difficult disease consultation,and disease re-examination,while the complicated medical services need to be improved.In the future,efforts should be made to continuously improve the information construction level and narrow the regional gap of medical services,so as to promote the continuous improvement and the coordinated development of medical services between regions.

Purpose Of Review: Significant inequities persist in hypertension detection and control, with minoritized populations disproportionately experiencing organ damage and premature death due to uncontrolled hypertension. Remote blood pressure monitoring combined with telehealth visits (RBPM) is proving to be an effective strategy for controlling hypertension. Yet there are challenges related to technology adoption, patient engagement and social determinants of health (SDoH), contributing to disparities in patient outcomes.

Background: To successfully design, develop, implement, and deliver digital health services that provide value, they should be cocreated with patients. However, occasionally, the value may also be codestructed. In the field of health care, the concepts of value cocreation and codestruction still need to be better established within emerging digital health services.

Background: /purposeSince 1995, Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) has offered a comprehensive dental coverage to over 99 % of the population. This study mainly analyzed the dental service utilization and expenditure trends by the gender, age, and service type and evaluated the resource allocation across different demographics from 2000 to 2020.
Materials And Methods: Nationwide NHI administrative data were used to assess the dental visit rates, average visits per user, and per capita expenditure by the gender, age, and 11 service categories for the years 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020.

Introduction: Reviews of economic evaluations of telehealth interventions found that the current evidence is inconsistent with standard guidelines for conducting economic evaluation. The reviews conclude that most economic evaluations of telehealth interventions are small-scale and short-term. The choice of time horizon in economic evaluation, in general, is an important part.
