JMIR: Regulation and Compliance in Telemedicine

Researchers discussed critical challenges in telemedicine compliance and regulation. They specifically consider obstacles and progress toward solutions in telemedicine law and regulation regarding privacy and security issues, care across state borders, and prescribing over telemedicine in the United States. The findings suggest that simplified policies are needed to keep telemedicine accessible to providers and patients and that current privacy and security measures need refinement to protect patients appropriately.
