In this paper we describe how to use IP-videoconferencing systems in medical surgery consulting. We started to think about how we could use special doctor’s services without patients having to travel a long way. The answer to this question is that the information goes from one place to another, not the patient. First we had a pilot project, where we used the 3×ISDN transmission rate and now we are using ATM. We have here in Satakunta a local area network between our Satakunta Central Hospital and the Health Care Center in Noormarkku and Kankaanpää, so we have very good environment to do this kind of research. Our network is quite fast, we can use the 10 Mbps bitrate and in this network there are no other activities in this moment, so there are not any interferences. There is a surgery specialist in the hospital and a doctor in the health care center with a patient. The specialist looks at the monitor, where there is a videopicture of the patient from the health care center. Then the specialist makes the treatment plan for the patient.
