Overview

The use of the internet and high-tech communications in health care has led to new approaches to medical treatment - and to challenging new legal questions. Telemedicine and E-Health Law has the answers that health care providers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurers, and their legal counsel need in the online era. Its comprehensive scope includes everything from the licensing requirements for physicians who provide medical services electronically across state lines to the privacy issues raised by the sharing of electronic medical records (EMRs) across computer networks. This important new book includes chapters on these topics, as well as on tax, antitrust, intellectual property, and other aspects of e-health - all packed with expert advice that will help you steer clear of difficulties. For anyone involved in this growing and important field, Telemedicine and E-Health Law is a book you can not afford to ignore. This book is updated as needed, generally two times each year.
