ASPEK HUKUM PENGGUNAAN TELEMEDIS DALAM PELAYANAN RUMAH SAKIT DI INDONESIA

Abstract

Indonesia, as a developing country, must strive to improve the quality of public health. One of them is implementing various health services using internet media (e-health). The term e-health is defined as health services and information delivered through internet media, including the widespread use of telemedis services in hospitals. Telemedis is the practice of health using audio, visual, and data communications, including treatment, diagnosis, consultation, and treatment, as well as the exchange of medical data and scientific discussions remotely. From the above understanding, it can be understood that the scope of telemedis is quite broad, covering the provision of long-distance health services (including clinical, educational, and administrative services) through the transfer of information using telecommunication devices (which include two-way interactive audio-video, computers, and telemetry) involving doctors, patients, and other parties. This research was conducted based on normative legal research. The approach used is the statute approach. This paper aims to explore telemedis services in hospitals in Indonesia, the legal basis for telemedis services in hospitals in Indonesia, and the risks of telemedis services in hospitals. This paper consists of several parts. After the introductory part, the following will discuss the concept of telemedis services in hospitals, the legal basis for telemedis services, and aspects related to telemedis. The next section will explain the risks or challenges faced by telemedis services in hospitals in Indonesia. The last section will present conclusions, limitations, and suggestions for future research. The result of the study is an argument to solve the legal problems encountered by using the deductive method to draw conclusions as a result of the findings.
