Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate factors that affect the telemedicine adoption rate by mental health professionals in Veterans Affairs. The research study involved psychiatrists, psychologist, primary care providers, clinical social workers, and other mental health professionals from VA medical centers and Community-Based Outpatient Clinics that have experience in telemedicine or are about to use telemedicine. Rogers theory of diffusion of innovations provided a framework for analysis of the diffusion of innovation at a complex systems level taking into account the differences in users' rate of adoption.
