Digitization of medical practice through telemedicine
The present study proposes an interdisciplinary approach correlating the new research devoted to the concept of telemedicine and the practice of telehealth services with the legislative norms and recommendations for telehealth services as part of a more complex process of digitization and democratization of medicine. Evidencing of the relations manifested between the results of recent analyses and the legal norms and recommendations may throw light on the possibilities of a performant medicine, developed in a digital environment, for the benefit of patients. Marking the areas characterized by inconsistencies, shortages, and overlays, along with their rightful elimination might improve and adapt the medical practices of today into such a new milieu, under conditions of safety and confidentiality, while increasing the quality of the medical services and their targeting upon patient’s needs.
