Ninety percent of healthcare executives say their organizations have or are developing Telemedicine programs. As this field grows, it's important that you understand the ever-changing risks and have solutions in place to protect your bottom line.
The growth in Digital Health and Telemedicine is expected to bring a potential increase in liability claims that go beyond the risks of traditional care. Risks include:
- Cyber loss via the telemedicine platform
- Licensing compliance to ensure that patients and providers are within the same state
- Potential international exposure and variations in malpractice remedy expectations and tort laws
- Bodily injury from digital health providers based on allegations of harm from products or services
- Inappropriate electronic communications alleged between patient and caregiver
