Overview

Telemedicine existed well before the recent COVID19 pandemic but industry experts agree that like gasoline to a fire, the COVID19 pandemic fueled telemedicine’s growth, expansion and adoption.  While telemedicine offers many benefits, the nontraditional mode of healthcare delivery can expose the practitioner and an organization to liability.  Healthcare practitioners and organizations must be careful to develop and implement a telemedicine program that not only provides quality care, but also minimizes risk to patient, provider and organization.  Legal experts predict that the volume of virtual care lawsuits will increase as telemedicine becomes an increasingly common way for patients to access healthcare. Join us to learn more about how to mitigate risk and liability in telemedicine.
