원격진료에 관한 의료법의 개정방안 연구 - 의료법 제34조를 중심으로 -

To be helpful in Medical Service Law revision, I tried to define the concept and classify by the type, review the purpose and analyze the current provisions of telemedicine with an emphasis of the Article 34. I derived the desired improvement in the current telemedicine system from the result of a review. First, there is a need to create the legal license system for a third assistant, realizing the doctor-patient's telemedicine and doctor-third assistant-patient's telemedicine not only inter-medical person's telemedicine. Second, all the medical practices are to be the object of telemedicine, although the Medical Service Law provide that telemedicine is to furnish medical knowledge or technology. And, all the medical practice will be graded on the basis of expertise and risk, or a specific specialized department is designited one for the telemedicine That is to say, it is necessary to systematize the medical practice, depending on their nature. Third, although the Medical Service Law provide that a medical person shall practice his/her medical service within the medical institution, the telemedicine is an exception. So the details of restrictions on the telemedicine place must be provided by established rule or public notices. And the regulation of high-tech medical device, medical information security and medical information protection shall be definded together. Last, the mitigation of liability and the fair liability distribution of remote doctor and local doctor in the telemedical malpractice are necessary.
