Telemedicine opens a new way of American medical services

Telemedicine refers to the advantages of medical technology and medical equipment in large hospitals or specialized medical centers based on computer technology, remote sensing, telemetry and remote control technology. It can be said that telemedicine can solve the problem of uneven medical level, reduce the cost of medical treatment for patients, and shorten the geographical barrier, a new medical service.

The Shenguo family has used telemedicine to help many patients consult with American experts. This method saves a lot of costs for patients, and can enjoy advanced medical treatment from abroad without leaving the country. The Shenguo family built an “International Diagnostic Center” for domestic patients. And is telemedicine open in the US? The answer is No, although it is OK, but there are still many restrictions.

Compared with China, the US medical Internet policy is more open, and it generally supports the Internet. In the United States, doctors diagnose or treat patients, or prescribe, need to establish a formal “doctor-patient relationship” through face-to-face, including obtaining a medical history, informing patients about the benefits and possible risks of treatment, scheduling follow-up, and recording medical records. Telemedicine is the same as the standard required by the clinic below the line. If you want to prescribe by telemedicine, you must establish a “doctor-patient relationship”. There are two problems involved. First, it is only through face-to-face (video face-to-face) of telemedicine. Can you establish a doctor-patient relationship without meeting offline? In addition, if doctors and patients establish a doctor-patient relationship opposite the line, can they be prescribed by telemedicine in the future?

In fact, because the United States is a federal system, states have different regulations for telemedicine, which are loose and strict. Like Chinese entrepreneurs, US medical Internet entrepreneurs need to always put policy risks. Last month, there was news that the Texas Medical Board issued a decree prohibiting doctors from prescribing remotely to new patients who had not seen them, causing a serious blow to Teladoc, a medical Internet company based in Texas. After finding the original documents issued by the medical committee and carefully studying it, it was found that the decree was not intended to kill the telemedicine stick, but to refine the specific conditions for telemedicine diagnosis and treatment. The decree clarifies that the doctor-patient relationship can be established through face-to-face, either below the line or remotely through the face-to-face.
