The ARIZONA TELEMEDICINE PROGRAM (ATP) conducted telemedicine operations since July of 1997 and has experience with over 2400 telemedicine interactions involving a large number of sub-specialties and many individual healthcare professionals. To support the clinical and educational applications requirements of the program we have established telecommunications infrastructure Called the ARIZONA RURAL TELEMEDICINE NETWORK (ARTN). This network links fifteen different organizations in nineteen communities. The operations of the program are supported by a multidisciplinary telemedicine organization established at the University of Arizona (Tucson), as well as clinical and administrative personnel from twelve client organizations. The inclusion of appropriate personnel from multiple disciplines and departments has allowed the program to address a comprehensive range of activities. The inclusion of personnel from multiple participating organizations has is a critical factor in the success of the program. With the ARTN providing integration, the ATP has provided the vision for the development of a virtual "cyber-organization" - The Nightingale Consortium of Telemedicine Service Providers, The goal of this organization is to create a seamless, virtually integrated but geographically distributed infrastructure that will provide ubiquitous telemedicine services in the state of Arizona.

This paper extends the growing research on the influence of religion and spiritualism on consumer behaviour by exploring the relationship between spirituality and religiosity (intrinsic vs. extrinsic) as well as their effects on consumers' purchase of Fast Moving Consumer Goods brands promoted by spiritual leaders (spiritual brands). Results from an online survey of 238 Indian consumers across four food product categories (honey, cheese, biscuits and cooking oil) shows that both intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity have significant positive effects, but spirituality has no significant effect on the purchase of spiritual brands. We discuss the theoretical and managerial implications of these findings as well as some limitations of our study and useful directions for future research.
