We have made a theoretical study of the potential for televisiting. All journeys made by the home care support team in an area of Madrid were reviewed to study the possibility of using televisiting. During the year 2000 the team provided an average of seven home visits a day. The home visits took 30 min on average, and the journey time was 30 min for urban areas and 45 min in the suburbs. We estimated that two of each day s visits could be carried out by telemedicine, with a mean duration of 15 min each. A model was used to calculate the resource demands and the potential cost-savings of televisiting compared with traditional home care. Using televisiting, 62% more suburban oncology patients could be managed and a cost reduction of euro;6 per visit could be achieved after 10 weeks.
