Companies focus on the customer service dimension while the medical community emphasizes clinical quality.

Fundamental changes are necessary in the corporate culture of medicine in order to capitalize maximally on the benefits of learning.

Many health care organizations have found themselves involved in mergers, acquisitions, alliances, networks, and other forms of structural change in order to reduce costs, improve utilization and service breadth, increase market leverage, and reduce variation in demand. This article examines three levels of communication issues that interact with one another and impact the likelihood of successful postmerger integration: affect, discursive frame, and negotiating position.

The authors analyze competing forces affecting the diffusion of telemedicine practices across organizations, potential learning effects from telemedicine practice, and their implications for the development of telemedicine-based networks. They also speculate on the learning, diffusion, and institutional effects that telemedical collaboration may trigger; five sets of propositions are advanced to explain these effects.
