"Telemedicine and E-Health Law" has the answers that health care providers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurers, and their legal counsel need in the online era. Its comprehensive scope includes everything from the licensing requirements for physicians who provide medical services electronically across state lines to the privacy issues raised by the sharing of electronic medical records (EMRs) across computer networks.
