Abstract

Ethical aspects of the doctor-patient relationship in telemedicine: integrative review
Objective: To analyze the ethical aspects of the doctor-patient relationship in telemedicine consultations.
Method: Integrative review, in which 63 articles were identified, based on the following descriptors:
ethics, telemedicine, and doctor-patient relationship, of which 16 were selected.
Results: We identified a need to update the regulations to ensure the ethical aspects of the doctorpatient
relationship since the existing ones no longer meet the needs of this health tool that is being
used with increasing frequency.
Conclusions: Much of the safety of the doctor-patient relationship depends on the doctor’s choices,
requiring greater articulation on the part of the responsible bodies to guarantee the safety of both
doctor and patient.
