Telemedicine partially resolved inequalities in access to health care, especially in geographical areas with a low number of doctors and in places with absent or insufficient specialists. Currently, Chile has a National Telehealth Program, but there are no specific laws on digital medicine that recognize remote medical acts and it is uncertain if they really are medical acts. The goal of a medical act is the well-being of a patient, requiring a therapeutic alliance based on the doctor’s knowledge of the needs, expectations and fears of such a patient. This article tries to determine if patient care by telemedicine can be considered a medical act. For this purpose, the conception of a medical act defined by P. Laín Entralgo, M.

Taking the necessary precautions, in most cases distant medical acts can be carried out allowing a humanized and respectful care of people. |
