Abstract:
The penetration and integration of internet with medical industry is apparently falling behind its interaction with other industries in terms of speed and scale. The main reason is due to the high risk and difficult supervision of internet medicine. Based on the regulatory context, this paper analyzes the endogenous and exogenous risk of internet medicine. The inherent characteristics of the internet (such as openness, diversity, multi subjectivity, virtuality, transparency, and high aggregation) lead to endogenous risks, including jurisdiction disputes, uncertainty of rights and obligations, security of personal information and medical information, monopoly. The lag of specific law in internet medicine, the lack of extensibility and synergy of traditional hierarchical regulatory system, the uncertainty of internet hospital regulatory policy details, the lack of technical specifications/operating procedures and other external system coverage in internet diagnosis and treatment lead to regulatory blind areas and exogenous risks. Based on the risk analysis, this paper discusses further construction of the mechanisms of risk assessment and regulation for internet medicine.
