CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY OF PHYSICIANS IN THE EXERCISE OF TELEMEDICINE

Abstract

In the midst of the pandemic caused by Covid-19, social distancing has become relevant, and consequently the use of telemedicine resources in medical care. However, the resolution that regulates this service is extremely outdated and prior to the advent of tools that enable its effective application. Therefore, this work seeks to deepen existing studies regarding the use of telemedicine in Brazil and the accountability attributed to physicians in this type of care, through a comparison between the current legislation in Brazil and in other countries, as well as a survey of available technologies and the impacts of this type of care. The research developed will be exploratory in nature and will consist of bibliographic research in scientific articles, doctrine, jurisprudence and legislation that make reference to the regulation of telemedicine in Brazil and in other nations. And finally, the project brings the hypothesis that telemedicine is on its way to becoming a definitive and regulated practice in the future of post- pandemic medicine in Brazil.
