Intro to Telemedicine and Connected Health in Obstetrics and Gynecology

I would like to welcome you to this issue of Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America titled, “Telemedicine and Connected Health in Obstetrics and Gynecology.” Health care costs have escalated over the last decade, and we have reached the point where we are spending nearly 20% of our gross national product on health care with little to show in quality for this expenditure. The justificat ion for this spending relied on the superiority of our health care system when compared with other nations, but we have called this superiority into question and have been urged to improve health care in America while simultaneously reducing spending—a daunting mission.
