telemedicine regulation

Telemedicine regulation involves rules and laws that ensure healthcare provided remotely—via video, phone, or apps—is safe, effective, and private. These regulations address licensing requirements for medical professionals across states or regions, standards for secure and confidential communication, and guidelines for prescribing medications or diagnosing conditions remotely. They also ensure equitable access and protect patient rights. Overall, regulation aims to maintain quality care, protect patient safety, and adapt traditional healthcare rules to the digital environment.
