Telemedicine
has arrived! The use of the Internet and high-tech communications
in health care has led to new approaches to medical treatment
- and to challenging new legal questions. Telemedicine and
E-Health Law has the answers that health care providers,
hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurers, and their legal
counsel need in the online era. Its comprehensive scope includes
everything from the licensing requirements for physicians who
provide medical services electronically across state lines to
the privacy issues raised by the sharing of electronic medical
records (EMRs) across computer networks.
What should
you know about regulation by the FDA, FTC and state attorneys
general when advertising or selling pharmaceuticals on the Web?
When do Medicare and Medicaid requirements (including fraud and
abuse provisions) apply to e-health transactions? What liabilities
are associated with telemedical practice?
This important
new book includes chapters on these topics, as well as on tax,
antitrust, intellectual property, and other aspects of e-health
- all packed with expert advice that will help you steer clear
of difficulties. For anyone involved in this growing and important
field, Telemedicine and E-Health Law is a book you can
not afford to ignore.
