Abstract
Telemedicine improves access to both health-care and second opinions. However, the potential risks of telemedicine, such as breaches in patient confidentiality and security, need to be addressed in order to ensure that patients’ rights are not violated. Used appropriately, telemedicine has the potential to enhance the rights of patients to high-quality, effective health-care.Keywords
