Telemedicine facilities were established in Madhya Pradesh in 2007\u20132008. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the infrastructure, equipment, manpower, and functional status of Indian Space and Research Organisation (ISRO) telemedicine nodes in Madhya Pradesh. All district hospitals and medical colleges with nodes were visited by a team of three members. The study was conducted from December 2013\u2013January 2014. The team recorded the structural facility situation and physical conditions on a predesigned pro forma. The team also conducted interviews with the nodal officers, data entry operator and other relevant people at these centres. Of the six specialist nodes, four were functional and two were non-functional. Of 10 patient nodes, two nodes were functional, four were semi-functional and four were non-functional. Most of the centres were not working due to a problem with their satellite modem. The overall condition of ISRO run telemedicine centres in Madhya Pradesh was found to be poor. Most of these centres failed to provide telemedicine consultations. We recommend replacing this system with another cost effective system available in the state wide area network (SWAN). We suggest the concept of the virtual out-patient department.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1357633x15593450","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,8]],"date-time":"2015-07-08T21:15:02Z","timestamp":1436390102000},"page":"183-188","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Evaluation of telemedicine centres in Madhya Pradesh, Central India"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Surya","family":"Bali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community and Family Medicine, Nodal Officer, Telemedicine Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arti","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community and Family Medicine, Nodal Officer, Telemedicine Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asif","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community and Family Medicine, Nodal Officer, Telemedicine Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abhijit","family":"Pakhare","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community and Family Medicine, Nodal Officer, Telemedicine Centre, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1357633X15593450","volume-title":"The World Health Report changing history","author":"World Health Organisation","year":"2004"},{"key":"bibr2-1357633X15593450","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09540121.2010.507751"},{"key":"bibr3-1357633X15593450","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bagchi S.
