A store-and-forward teleconsultation system was established for 36 Italian hospitals located in 22 different countries. Referrals were made to a network of 33 health centres in Italy via a management centre (MC). The MC was equipped with a server to manage the service. The participating hospitals used client workstations with special software. The referring centres generated teleconsultation requests, which were sent to the MC and allocated manually by the latter to the most appropriate specialist on the basis of information provided in the message. From 1 June 2005 to 15 March 2006, 187 enquiries out of 221 were answered. The median response time was two days. A service satisfaction survey was conducted among the users and about 90% of the responses were positive. The teleconsultation system represents a mechanism for providing equitable access to health care for all the referring doctors.
