Digitization in the health sector in the trade-off between technical and legislative possibilities and legal limits according to German law

In May 2018, the 121st German Medical Association in Erfurt decided to relax the prohibition
of exclusive remote treatment which had previously been standardized in the Model
Professional Code of Conduct for physicians working in Germany (MBO-Ä). With this,
the German Medical Association has responded to the continuing call for progress and
further development in terms of digitization. Nevertheless, many questions remain unanswered,
such as the implementation and interpretation of the provisions of § 7 para. 4
MBO-Ä in its new wording and their embedding in existing regulations. Data protection,
which defines the legal limits of remote treatment, also plays an important role here.
