Telehealth
Delivering care remotely, raising licensing, privacy and prescribing questions across borders.
Overview
Delivering care remotely, raising licensing, privacy and prescribing questions across borders. It sits within healthcare and carries both general healthcare obligations and its own specific rules.
Telehealth providers must check that clinicians are licensed where the patient is, protect data across platforms and meet prescribing and consent rules that vary by jurisdiction.
