This article describes a proposed framework called Telehealth Service Maturity Model (TMSMM.br) for evaluating the current stage of telehealth centers in the Brazilian context. The steps included literature review, compilation and interpretation, data collection instrument, survey with center coordinators, model development, and evaluation process. The review resulted in 857 quality aspects for telehealth services, grouped into 12 themes with 34 topics. TMSMM.br consists of defining 3 foundational dimensions (themes, services, stages) and provides a standardized set of 200 requirements ordered across 5 thematic domains (structure, organization, user, operation and community) for 8 services (consultation, consultation, diagnosis, treatment and referral, education and training, social control and communication, healthcare network, and research, development, and innovation). TMSMM.br enables telehealth centers to identify and compare essential characteristics and their maturity stages.
