의료법싱의 원격의료에 대한 법적 쟁점

Abstract

Because telemedicine is a medical service not by a face to face contact(direct contact) but by an invisible contract (indirect contact), there is possibility that the accuracy of information of the former can not meet the latter's and you can't take away the possibility of that the very insufficient accuracy can cause a medical malpractice. So telemedicine itself is more dangerous and takes the high risk than the general one and we want to control the unpredictable variable in advance systematically, you can achieve it through proper compensation for damages based on strict liability(risk liability). So through legislating 'special law on telemedicine' on the basis of fault liability like the current Civil law, we have to apply fault liability supplementarily and make the nation and the people in medical service together take the responsibility for medical malpractice relating telemedicine. It is because medical health service is an obligation of the nation for the people and in this area, telemedicine as a means of guarantee of equality rights of the people is important as a big national policy concern task. And I hope that the problems of protection of privacy due to the medical information and guarantee of medical treatment charges will be solved sooner or later. Thus the creation of new medical services which are suited for an information-oriented society and that of the revitalization and the study will be needed in the future.
