Summary/Abstract: Telehealth and telemedicine cover similar services, including medical education, patient monitoring, patient consultation and transmission of medical images and reports. Improvements in health information technology, in addition to expanding access to health services, have spurred the advancement of telemedicine. The practice of telemedicine raises many questions regarding malpractice liability, including how to obtain informed consent, practice standards and protocols, oversight requirements for non-physician providers, and the implementation of professional indemnity insurance. Simply applying existing telemedicine malpractice liability principles is not sufficient, particularly when it is not clear what the appropriate "standard of care" is. That is why, through this paper, we aim to highlight the pros and cons issues related to the use of technology and telehealth services in clinical practice.
