Forces affecting Technology transfer can be summarized as
Either one can produce negative and possitive actions towards transfer technology
| SOCIAL BODY | NEGATIVE ACTIONS | POSITIVE ACTIONS |
| University | 1.Publishing driven work 2.Not capable initiating transfer |
1. Know how stablishement 2. Diffusion of information |
| Industry | 1. Selling driven policy 2.I+D policy based on revenues |
1.- I+D investment 2.- Joint Ventures |
| Federal Governement | 1.Budget driven investments 2. Cutting budgets |
1 Stimulation of social
initiatives 2. Active legislation 3. Standards promotion |
| Social enviroment | 1 Economic Resistance to
change 2 Limited mass studies |
1.Continuous education 2. Facilitate information activities |
| End users | 1. New working schemas only
based on costs 2. Inmediate benefit demand |
1. Reimboursement policies 2. Introduce applications with previous design |

It is suppose that the key issues for applying Telemedicine with be
a) Cost -reduction
1.- Better resource management avoid Service duplication
avoid equipment duplication
avoid specialist duplication
2.- Reduce number of " on call" professionals
3.- Service instalation where fixed cost are lower
4.- Providing back-up services
5.- Reducing costs associated with travelling.
b) Avoid isolation
1.- Continous education programms
2.- Remote support for specialist

The Scenarios for an appropiate Transfer Technology can be clasify as :
| A) Technologycally and personaly in favour and prepared |
1) With real needs |
| B) Technologycally and personally not prepared to accept it |
2) With no real urgency |
Permutation of the previous situations produce different
scenarios that introduce variability in the transfer technology
results. Furthermore this variability have to be multiply by two
because it affects the sending and receptor site.
The ideal situation is A1, neverthelless the real situation is in
general B1 , and the experiments carried out in Telemedicine in
the world are in general in the A2 scenario.
In order to succed , particularlly in the B1 situations, the
Organizational enviroment and Specific requirements for
Teleservices pointed out in Chapter 7
have to be designed carefully. Not further spontaneous pilot
project are justify ; a champion Teleservice have to be actively
search in order to achieve a critical mass of users to justify
their implementation and assure an appropiate technically and
economically cost-benefit analysis with scientific guarantees (
see Chapter 5 ) to be able to
consider it as true Pilot Project for comparison basis .
