Telemedicine practices outside the EU Sample Clauses

Telemedicine practices outside the EU. In the USA, telemedicine services are widely used and are part of routine practice. Many commercial providers exist. Most common are teleconsultation practices. Policies are in place allowing telemedicine to be reimbursed through the Medicare program (Jahns 2017, Xxxxxx et al. 1014). Reimbursement is allowed when there is a proven shortage of health professionals in a rural setting or when the practice is part of a federal telemedicine project. Some insurance companies provide telemedicine, in particular teleconsultation, to their clients, whether or not the providers are based in the USA. Contrary to the EU, the US regulators require a remote doctor to be licensed or registered with the regulator in the patient’s jurisdiction (Europe Economics 2019). Worth mentioning is also the virtual healthcare centre opened by the Mercy Hospital St. Louis (Missouri) in 2015 (55). The nurses and physicians involved use telemonitoring and teleconsultation to provide care to patients residing in various states. They also work with other hospitals as a back-up (Xxxx et al. 2016; Xxxxx 2017). In Canada telemedicine practices are increasing and already common in some areas. For instance, telesurgery has been taking place since as early as 2003 between hospitals located at a distance of 400km from one another, thus linking urban and rural areas (Cazac and Radu 2014). Teleconsultation is also on the rise (Xxxxx 2018). In India, there are both public and private initiatives providing telemedicine, mostly teleconsultation and telemonitoring. Official standards have been created for telemedicine by the public authorities. Training on the use of telemedicine is organized for health professionals by the government and universities. Cross-border telemedicine services are provided to South Asia and Africa, mostly in the form of tele-expertise (56) (Xxxxxx et al. 2009). In Iran, some programmes exist, in pilot and starting phases, on telemonitoring and tele- expertise, mostly at national level (World Health Organization 2016b; Darvish and Far 2017).
