Abstract

The rapid growth of telemedicine has created a need for a definition of the responsibilities of the doctors involved. These responsibilities must be analyzed according the tort of negligence as a function of the level of competence of each doctor, their unequal access to the relevant information and their command of the telemedicine system. This analysis leads on to a study of the legal value of the electronic records kept and the ways in which the doctors are remunerated.
