Abstract
Telemedicine is the process by which electronic, visual and audio communications are used to support practitioners at remote sites with diagnosis and consultation procedures, such as remote clinical examinations and medical image transfers. Telemedicine is legally regulated by laws and constraints regarding the access of data contained in Personal Medical Files. These requirements are given by international entities such as IHE. They often specify the required functionalities to meet requirements of information exchange in the medical field. These functionalities are presented in this paper and outline some technical examples for their implementation in each level: authentication, communication, data storage, tracking and patient identification.
