Legal constraints for telemedicine development and recommendations / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

China’s existing laws and regulations in telemedicine fall behind practice.As a result, telemedicine is confronted with such vague constraints as permission,legal relations and legal liability, validity of electronic medical records,telemedicine equipment standards,patients’right to know and their right to privacy,as well as disputes settlement.On such basis,the authors propose to improve the laws and regulations in this regard as soon as possible.
