Abstract

The Health Law in regulating the use of telemedicine/telemedicine is much more general than the regulations in the Kepmenkes and Permenkes. Because the Health Law is much more general and only mentions a few provisions in the mechanism of running telemedicine, namely only related to definitions, health efforts, and health service facilities. Based on the three rules described above, none of the provisions regulate the rights of patients or the legal protection of patients who use the utilization of telemedicine. The type of research used in this study is normative juridical research. Furthermore, the research approach in this study uses a stata approach. This research is descriptive, which makes a systematic description, regulation of telemedicine and patient protection in telemedicine services. The author concludes, first, Based on the three rules, no one mentions the existence of legal protection regarding patient rights in using telemedicine, but the legal protection referred to in the Health Law is only to patients in general. Second, the vagueness regarding the protection of these rights specifically in the implementation of telemedicine. So that the regulation related to the protection of patients' rights in the implementation of telemedicine still has several gaps that need to be regulated further.
