This CLE course will discuss the standard of care and causation issues unique to telemedicine as well as the types of medical malpractice claims being asserted and why. The panel will offer both plaintiff and defense perspectives on the benefits and challenges arising in telemedicine and best strategies for both sides when litigation and malpractice claims are alleged.

Description

Healthcare providers are increasingly using telemedicine solutions or clinical services using electronic communication methods. Since 2020, telemedicine has matured and gained greater acceptance, but time has also exposed vulnerabilities. This webinar will review the legal developments resulting from these changes in medical practice.

Issues of informed consent and an advance waiver may present differently in the remote context. Liability questions may be more complex when doctors practice across state lines.

Listen as our panel of experienced medical malpractice attorneys reviews trends and litigation strategies in claims against healthcare providers, physician groups, and healthcare organizations.
