Abstract:
Telemedicine is an innovative medical model that utilizes information technology, including communication, computing, and networking technologies. It can transcend geographical barriers, enhance medical efficiency, facilitate the sharing of medical resources, and foster the diversification of healthcare services. However, the advancement of telemedicine in China encounters specific legal risks, including those associated with professional qualifications and licensing of healthcare institutions and personnel, determination of medical liability, infringement of patient rights, and cross-border telemedicine practices. To promote the innovative development of telemedicine in China, targeted measures must be implemented in areas such as improving the legal framework for healthcare, strengthening industry regulation, enhancing patient rights protection, and bolstering technical safeguards and standardization.
