Objective: To investigate and determine where they were implanted with the telemedicine projects and their consequences for society. Methods: To conduct the study, we used the model case study, with the use of interview tools and field description of it, from ethnographic observations. Results: A total of three projects in telemedicine, the cities of Belo Horizonte, Recife and Porto Alegre, considering the impact of access, affordability and acceptability, and to support the methodology proposed by PAHO. Conclusion: The results are partial, that is, they reinforce the view that it is necessary to establish mechanisms for the pre, during and after implementation of telemedicine projects. We also found that: Impact on Access - did not find evidence of improving and expanding access to health services. Rather, such access was limited programming is videoconferencing; Economic Impact - for cases that occurred in the process of second opinion, in fact, there are gains for the patient. But if we look at the results from users leaving to go to secondary care, in fact, the number of cases is low, which leads to the conclusion that it has not promoted economic impact, impact on the acceptance - by among users is because of the novelty, participation in videoconferencing. As for the medical profession, the acceptance was not natural, because in many of the settings managers had to convince professionals to participate.
