At present,domestic and foreign have not yet formed a unified understanding of telemedicine.The distribution of medical resources in our country is not balanced,the grassroots or remote areas are lack of medical resources,especially high quality human resources,thus our country has the inner demand of developing on telemedicine.Due to the lagging of legislation and policy,telemedicine puts forward many legal and ethical challenges on the practicing qualification of physicians,the practicing registration of physicians,the protection of the rights of patients' informed consent and privacy,and so on.We should carefully distinguish the behavior of health counseling or diagnoses & treatment in telemedicine,in order to clarify the legal relationships among of the invitational medical institution,invitee medical institution,and patient,it will be the basis of bearing of legal liability.
