The most important thing in preparing laws for the introduction of new policies will be the understanding and acceptance of major stakeholders. This paper proposed a consideration issue when introducing doctor-patient telemedicine, which is a major party to telemedicine. The medical community was most concerned about the responsibility for the inevitable situation related to the intermediate media of information and communication devices, along with the collapse of the medical delivery system due to the damage to the existing medical system and the concentration of large hospitals. In this study, the medical fee adjustment method was proposed as an appropriate plan to prevent problems such as the collapse of the medical delivery system, such as the range adjustment of medical institutions and allowable diseases. Telemedicine responsibility refers to the responsibility for medical accidents that violated the duty of care required by doctors for telemedicine as well as medical technology at the time. Responsibility for the risk of device installation is part of the Medical Device Act, and it is necessary to make it the obligation of manufacturers related to telemedicine devices and equipment. Responsibility for use risk can be caused by a number of telemedicine participants, so it is necessary to clarify the responsibility. Responsibility for security risks needs to come up with a separate legislation in connection with MyHealthway infrastructure to protect personal information and prevent leakage.
