Universal Citation: 02 ME Code Rules ยง 373-11-1

Current through 2024-13, March 27, 2024

1. The Board recognizes that technological advances have made it possible for licensees in one location to provide health care to patients in another location with or without an intervening health care provider.

2. Telehealth is a useful tool that, if applied appropriately, can provide important benefits to patients, including increased access to health care, expanded utilization of specialty expertise, rapid availability of patient records, and potential cost savings.

3. The Board advises that licensees using telehealth in providing health care will be held to the same standards of care and professional ethics as licensees providing traditional in-person health care.

4. Failure to conform to the appropriate standards of care or professional ethics while using telehealth in providing health care may subject the licensee to potential discipline by the Board.
