[TAO] TAO Digest

[Catherine Britain]

Greetings!

Because there is so much information regarding telemedicine coming across
my desk, I have decided that rather than inundating you with lots of
messages that I will attempt to send you a weekly digest of information I
think you might find useful.  It is not meant to be comprehensive by any
means. I will divide the information into 3 sections - TAO news, events,
and articles.

Please let me know if this is useful and is less imposing on your time than
lots of individual messages.

Best,
Cathy
