| Sumario: | Abstract: This paper considers the legislation in MERCOSUR about the protection of
personal information in Telemedicine. As Telemedicine is a new way of exercising
medicine that involves new juridical challenges, we consider the topic within the
general legal framework of the MERCOSUR. MERCOSUR is 20 years old and can be
properly analyzed to verify how it has dealt with the topic of Telemedicine.
Telemedicine involves different issues such as the problem of liability, the authorization
to practice telemedicine, the protection of personal information, the system of payment
and reimbursement, the informed consent and the relation between doctor and patient.
We analyze only the protection of personal health information. We found out that there
is no specific regulation of Telemedicine in the legal framework of practising medicine
in MERCOSUR. We also analyzed the norms in Argentina and Brazil to draw some
conclusions. Finally, we propose some guidelines for public policy. |
