There are fewer physicians worldwide than needed in certain regions for underprivileged individuals. The Global Partnership for Telehealth was created in order to improve healthcare and better assist those in areas that may not have direct access to good medical help. According to the American Telemedicine Association (ATA), almost 10 million telemedicine encounters occurred last year.]]> 2016-06-18 16:29:34 UTC https://padlet.com/aac11j/yygw6i1vx86h/wish/114956816 aac11j https://padlet.com/aac11j/yygw6i1vx86h/wish/114956918 2016-06-18 16:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/aac11j/yygw6i1vx86h/wish/114956918 aac11j https://padlet.com/aac11j/yygw6i1vx86h/wish/114958044 Although the video below is not directly about Telehealth, it brings up an issue that is extremely common with the practice of Telehealth. If a doctor is in one state, and prescribes medication to a patient in another state, they are illegally practicing. This issue arises with Telehealth, especially from a global perspective, because the doctor is not licensed in the state the patient is located in. This is a continuing issue as Telehealth continues to expand.]]> 2016-06-18 17:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aac11j/yygw6i1vx86h/wish/114958044 aac11j https://padlet.com/aac11j/yygw6i1vx86h/wish/114958286 International framework does not exist for practicing medicine globally the way Telehealth is meant to be practiced. This hinders the ability to provide legal services to those across the globe. Also, sharing patient records could potentially violate certain privacy regulations depending on the location the services are provided to. There are multiple issues that negatively impact the successful expansion of Telehealth into the global market. ]]> 2016-06-18 17:28:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aac11j/yygw6i1vx86h/wish/114958286
