Abstract

Since 1959, the University of Nebraska Medical Center has been using two-way closed-circuit television for medical treatment and education, largely in psychiatry. Television has been used to link the medical center with hospitals in remote rural areas, as well as to assist in educational programs within the university complex. Electronic communication has been valuable in extending education and services.
