Abstract

The rapid development of the current information and communication brings big changes and progress in the health service delivery system. And it is becoming the worldwide trend increasingly. As the name of medical information, by more rapid, detail and more quickly to the patients and diagnosis of the disease it provides not only a high level of health care services but also hospitals and related institutions are making increase the efficiency of the work. Among them, the Telemedicine, that system has many advantage which can expect the shorten the waiting time and the uniform high level of medical, etc. without visiting medical institutions. Especially, the most advantage is it can increase the accessibility of information about extensive medical, without regard to the time and place. But this is the reality, which compared speed the development of modern science and technology with lack of operational regulations and mindset. Current in our Medical Law, it regulates the Telemedicine, but it has Institutional, facility, and environmental constraints. Because, there is no detailed legal relationship. And it takes that in terms of a special form called by a non-face-to-face contact with medical practice rather than the scene. Therefore, in this paper will find a way out to activate the Telemedicine by presupposes the development potential is infinite and find the legal issues and improvements.

현재 정보통신의 비약적인 발전은 의료서비스 전달체계에서도 큰 변화와 진전을 야기하고 있으며 세계적으로 점차 확대되어가고 있는 추세이다. 이는 의료정보화라는 이름으로 환자에게는 질병의 진단, 치료에 있어서 보다 신속, 세밀하고 정확히 판단할 수 있게 하여 수준 높은 보건의료서비스를 제공하는 한편 의료기관 및 관련기관은 업무의 효율성을높여가고 있다. 그 중 원격의료는 의료기관의 방문 없이 대기시간의 단축, 일률적인 고도의 의료수준을 기대할 수 있는 등의 장점이 있는 제도이다. 특히 장소와 시간에 구애받지 않고 방대한 의학에 관한 정보접근성이 높아질 수 있다는 점이다. 그러나 현대 과학 기술의 발달의 속도에 비해 운용상의 제반 규정과 마인드가 부족한 것이 현실이다. 현행 우리 의료법에서는 원격의료를 규정하고는 있으나 그 내부적 관계에 따르는 세부적인 법률관계의 부재 및 현장에서 이루어지는 의료행위가 아닌 정보통신망을 이용한 비대면접촉에 의한 특수한 형태라는 측면에서 제도적, 시설적, 환경적 제약이 있음을 부인할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 현행 원격의료의 발전 잠재 가능성이 무한함을 전제로 법적 문제점 및 개선점을 고찰해보고 이를 통한 원격의료를 활성화할 수 있는 활로를 모색하고자 한다.
