The new legislation on telemedicine
Posted: Thu Feb 20, 2025 7:16 am
Subdivided into areas, telemedicine includes teleguidance, which enables doctors to provide guidance and refer patients remotely, telemonitoring, which, with medical supervision, allows health and/or disease parameters to be monitored, and teleconsultation, which consists of the exchange of information and opinions exclusively between doctors, for diagnostic or therapeutic assistance.
Furthermore, one of the main advantages of telemedicine is the issuance of online reports. Tests such as electrocardiograms, electroencephalograms, and x-rays, among others, can be performed by a technical team. The results of the tests are sent online to the medical teams and can be checked on the same day by healthcare professionals.
An example of how this technology works can be seen in a procedure germany mobile database such as an electrocardiogram. Performed by nursing technicians or radiologists, the exam is done using specific software using devices capable of generating digital images that have a direct or indirect connection to a computer.
After the exam is performed, a specialist accesses the platform using a login and password and views all the data. The doctor can zoom in, zoom out, increase or decrease the contrast and analyze the anatomical structures from different angles. Once the data has been interpreted, the professional will produce a report with their conclusions and digitally sign it. The document issued is registered on the platform and can be accessed by the employees who performed the procedure and even by patients using their login and password. The platform has cloud storage and saves the data from the exams performed, reports and clinical information of the patients.
The Federal Senate approved Bill 696/20, from the Chamber of Deputies , which provides for the widespread use of telemedicine on an emergency basis during the coronavirus crisis. After the end of the pandemic, the CFM will once again be responsible for regulating the practice. The measure aims to reduce overcrowding in hospitals and health centers. The text has been sent for presidential sanction.
According to the text, initially authored by Rep. Adriana Ventura (Novo-SP) , the use of telemedicine is authorized for all specialties and any activities in the health area. This means that in addition to doctors, other professionals such as psychologists will also be able to provide remote care.
The interaction, according to the text, includes pre-clinical care, support, consultation, monitoring and diagnosis. Regarding the prescription of medications and certificates, doctors will also be able to use the electronic signature mechanism to issue them digitally.
