Telemedicine

The Taiwanese government has recently been pushing hard to pass the "Regulations Governing Telemedicine and Treatment," which will have a significant impact on the promotion of smart healthcare after the pandemic. The legislative direction can be seen in four main directions: opening up more applicable scenarios, more implementation items, allowing prescriptions to be issued remotely, and simplifying the administrative procedures for applying for telemedicine.
Based on the "Measures for Telemedicine Diagnosis and Treatment" and the "Measures for the Production and Management of Electronic Medical Records in Medical Institutions," it can be seen that the government intends to expand telemedicine to long-term care, home care, and international medical care. In the future, telemedicine will become the new norm in the post-pandemic era.
