Abstract :
The purpose of the paper is to discuss some of the difficulties encountered in the definition, organization, management and evaluation of a routine telemedicine project and to propose some leads to overcome the obstacles. We draw these remarks from our experience in managing a European project and a French one. Throughout the paper, telemedicine is defined as a means provided by advanced technologies of allowing distant medical resources to meet unfulfilled demands in healthcare services
