With constantly evolving technology allowing us to stay connected wherever we are, Telehealth has become forefront due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
However, even before the onset of the pandemic, this is something that was being trialled and used in many countries around the world. In 2019 Germany passed the Digital Healthcare Act with a view to move towards digitisation and innovation in the future.
While there are many clear benefits to using these new methods, especially during a global pandemic do you think that a proper set of rules and regulations should be rolled out worldwide to avoid any missteps and potential abuse of the systems?
In March 2021, we surveyed 560 M3 members about this important topic.
