Telehealth, the use of modern information technology to deliver health services to remote locations, poses both opportunities and problems for social work. Home health "visits" featuring a social worker in one state and a patient in another, therapy on the Internet, and the transmission of patient records across state and national boundaries raise important ethical and legal questions. This article examines how modern communications technologies such as e-mail, interactive e-mail, and interactive videoconferencing affect social work practice, with emphasis on the legal, ethical, and relationship issues raised.
远程医疗，即利用现代信息技术向偏远地区提供医疗服务，给社会工作带来了机遇和问题。以一个州的社会工作者和另一个州的患者为特色的家庭健康“访问”、互联网治疗以及患者记录跨州和跨国界传输引发了重要的伦理和法律问题。本文探讨电子邮件、交互式电子邮件和交互式视频会议等现代通信技术如何影响社会工作实践，重点关注由此引发的法律、伦理和关系问题。
