- The potential for telemedicine to assist with access to healthcare specialists and healthcare monitoring has been observed in developed countries. The Kenyan government approved as a strategic approach of improving healthcare delivery especially in the marginalized areas of the country. However, the adoption of telemedicine has been hindered as the cost of implementing telemedicine technology is deemed to be high and the resources needed are scarce. This article reports on the findings from an empirical study conducted across 50 hospitals and clinics located in Eastern Kenya to examine whether organization collaboration can expedite the adoption of telemedicine.
