The Ministry of Health has the task to develop a healthcare system that provides access to the isolated citizens; one of the proposals is the adoption of telemedicine. Research the barriers and challenges in adopting telemedicine in Saudi Arabia. Discuss the current KSA laws that protect patient information and provide for the ethical treatment of Saudi patients. Discuss the role of informed consent and the requirements needed for participation in a telemedicine network. What legal and ethical challenges do you see in adopting telemedicine in Saudi Arabia? Propose what you see as a solution to those challenges.
Support your statements with logic and argument, citing any sources referenced. Post your initial response early, and check back often to continue the discussion.
You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question and/or your instructor’s response to your posting. These post replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.
