The health status of the population is largely influenced both by the medical services quality of by the intervention promptness. In recent years, the medicine field has been invaded by a wide variety of medical applications such as: laboratory robots, tele-surgery, telemedicine and tele-consultation, surgical training, rehabilita- tion and hospital robots, all these assisted by qualified personnel - doctors and nurses (Angeletos, 2011). Currently, many health agencies and health personnel which provides health services, share data and professional knowledge over the Internet offer (Ataç, Kurt & Yurdakul, 2013). Telemedicine represents the exchange of medical information between geographically dispersed loca- tions via electronic communications in order to improve the health of patients. Telemedicine is useful especially for populations living in isolated communities and remote regions and is currently applied in almost all medical fields. Management of trauma patients requires fast, definitive and precise care as well as major resources and continuous expertise (Lafiti et al., 2007), therefore paramedics attending an accident scene can use telemedicine systems to retrieve medical history about a person and any other necessary information to provide the needed assistance in minimal time (Fong, Fong, Rapajic & Hong, 2003). The critically ill patients can be located in distant places, requiring remote reception and broadcasting of data related to their status and real-time diagnosis before they are transported in the hospitals. The telemedicine system was successfully implemented in Romania in emergency medicine. The project of primary care improvement may be an opportunity for family medicine in both rural areas but also in urban areas. In Romania, family doctors (General Practitioner – GP) are those who provide and coordinate primary and continuous personal health care, for the individual and the family (e.g. family goes to a family doctor the first time somebody has a health problem).
