Complete your participation for this assignment by Week 5, Day 7.Telemedicine: Benefits
and ChallengesTelemedicine can be extremely beneficial for people living in isolated
regions and is currently being applied in virtually all medical domains. To address major
health issues related to affordability, access, and quality of care, healthcare providers need
to consider telemedicine as a reliable option when access to traditional medicine is difficult
and out of reach. Healthcare providers, however, must consider legal and ethical issues
when planning, designing, and implementing telemedicine. Key among these issues are
those of patient confidentiality, privacy, data security, and transmission.How does
telemedicine differ from the traditional medicine?What are other legal or ethical issues
involved in telemedicine?Which of these issues, in your opinion, will be the most difficult to
address?What technologies or infrastructure are necessary for the successful practice of
telemedicine?What obstacles can prevent healthcare providers from seeing telemedicine as
a reliable option, even when access to traditional medicine is difficult or out of
reach?Drawing on course readings or outside scholarly sources, your answer with
references, examples, and clear rationales.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-
FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s
spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part
and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled
words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and
then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended

2. number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
