With the development and popularization of Internet technology, Internet medical treatment has gradually emerged and been widely used. In order to standardize the Internet medical market order and ensure public health and safety, the National Health and Wellness Commission of China issued the Measures for the Administration of Internet Medical Services (hereinafter referred to as the Measures) on 20 18, which will take effect on July 1 2020. The "Measures" clarify the definition, service content, qualification requirements, doctor registration and approval of medical institutions. In September of the same year, the National Health and Wellness Committee issued the Administrative Measures for Internet Diagnosis and Treatment (Trial) (hereinafter referred to as the "Detailed Rules"), which specifically regulated Internet diagnosis and treatment. The "Detailed Rules" implement three-level classified management for different types of Internet diagnosis and treatment services, namely, ordinary Internet diagnosis and treatment, Internet diagnosis and treatment and telemedicine, and Internet hospitals. There are also detailed regulations on the qualification requirements of medical institutions, the registration and approval of doctors, and the technical service capabilities. At the same time, the "Rules" also focus on standardizing the service content of Internet diagnosis and treatment, doctors' practice behavior, and the security of medical information. In order to facilitate supervision and management, the National Health and Wellness Committee also implements a filing management system for Internet diagnosis and treatment. Internet medical service institutions need to pass the technical evaluation and data review of relevant departments before filing to ensure compliance with relevant technical standards and laws and regulations. In a word, Internet diagnosis and treatment is the development trend in the future medical field, but there are also certain risks and challenges. Strengthening supervision and management, preventing risks and ensuring public health and safety are important tasks.
What laws and regulations are involved in Internet diagnosis and treatment? There are many laws and regulations involved in Internet diagnosis and treatment, mainly including Physician Law, People's Republic of China (PRC) Health Law, Administrative Measures for Internet Medical Services and Administrative Measures for Internet Diagnosis and Treatment (Trial). At the same time, Internet diagnosis and treatment should also comply with the network security law, e-commerce law and other relevant laws and regulations.
Internet diagnosis and treatment management needs the joint efforts of all parties. Medical institutions need to strengthen their own management, improve their technical capabilities and ensure medical quality. The regulatory authorities need to strengthen supervision and improve the supervision mechanism. The public also needs to raise their risk awareness and choose formal and legal Internet medical services. Only with the concerted efforts of Qi Xin can the healthy and orderly development of Internet medical industry be realized.
