This paper reviews the difficulties raised by the need to obtain valid consent from telemedicine patients to the treatment that they receive and evaluates the legal principles that the courts will apply to an allegation of negligence brought against a teleconsultant or telemedicine service by a patient. While many of the processes that take place during a telemedical consultation will be unique, it is suggested that the legal principles that apply to the conventional, face-to-face, doctor-patient relationship are equally as valid in the context of the practice of medicine at a distance.
本文回顾了在远程医疗中获取患者对所接受治疗的有效同意所带来的困难，并评估了法院在处理患者对远程医疗顾问或远程医疗服务提出的过失指控时将适用的法律原则。虽然远程医疗咨询过程中的许多流程是独特的，但有人认为，适用于传统面对面医患关系的法律原则在远程医疗实践中同样有效。
