The National Center for Technological Excellence in Health (CENETEC), published a document that compiles the legal instruments applicable to the practice of telehealth in Mexico.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Currently in Mexico there are no specific regulations on telehealth and its exercise. CENETEC explains that telehealth must adhere to the applicable regulations like any other activity in the field of health.<\/p>

Among the legal instruments that regulate aspects of the use of telehealth and its modalities, it is mainly the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States. Article 4 mentions that every person has the right to health protection and that the law will establish a health system for well-being.<\/p>

On the other hand, Article 6 explains that the State will guarantee the right of access to information and communication technologies (ICT), in the same way with broadcasting, telecommunications and Internet services. And finally, Article 16 mentions that every person has the right to the protection of their personal data, access, rectification and cancellation of the same.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The General Health Law (LGS) follows from the Political Constitution. This explains that the National Health System (SNS) includes federal and local public entities, as well as natural and legal persons providing services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Article 6 mentions as one of the objectives of the SNS, the promotion of health services based on ICT, to expand coverage and improve the quality of health care. Similarly, Article 7 seeks to promote the incorporation, use and exploitation of ICTs in health services.<\/p>

CENETEC explains that technology should be considered only as a tool to strengthen the needs and challenges faced by health services. In addition, three aspects must be taken into account: Patient safety; Health professional safety; and Security in the transmission of information.<\/strong><\/p>

Telehealth seeks to promote access to health services in remote areas, improve organizational capacity and achieve greater efficiency in care processes. CENETEC recognizes the need for a specific regulation for the correct use of the different modalities of telehealth. Above all, after, in 2020, the use of ICT in health was extremely important due to the pandemic, to continue with medical care and monitoring of infected patients.<\/p>

El Centro Nacional de Excelencia Tecnol\u00f3gica en Salud (CENETEC), public\u00f3 un documento que compila los instrumentos jur\u00eddicos aplicables a la pr\u00e1ctica de telesalud en M\u00e9xico. Actualmente en M\u00e9xico no existe normatividad espec\u00edfica sobre telesalud y su ejercicio. El CENETEC explica que la telesalud debe apegarse a las normativas aplicables como cualquier otra actividad del \u00e1mbito de la salud. Entre los instrumentos jur\u00eddicos que regulan aspectos sobre el uso de telesalud y sus modalidades, se encuentra principalmente la Constituci\u00f3n Pol\u00edtica de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. El Art\u00edculo 4 menciona que toda persona tiene derecho a la protecci\u00f3n de la salud y que la ley establecer\u00e1 un sistema de salud para el bienestar. Por otra parte, el Art\u00edculo 6 explica que el Estado garantizar\u00e1 el derecho de acceso a las tecnolog\u00edas de la informaci\u00f3n y comunicaci\u00f3n (TIC), de igual forma con los servicios de radiodifusi\u00f3n, telecomunicaciones e internet. Y finalmente, el Art\u00edculo 16 menciona que, toda persona tiene derecho a la protecci\u00f3n de sus datos personales, al acceso, rectificaci\u00f3n y cancelaci\u00f3n de los mismos. De la Constituci\u00f3n Pol\u00edtica se desprende la Ley General de Salud (LGS). Esta explica que el Sistema Nacional de Salud (SNS), comprende entidades p\u00fablicas federales y locales, as\u00ed como personas f\u00edsicas y morales de prestaci\u00f3n de servicios. El art\u00edculo 6 menciona como uno de los objetivos del SNS, la promoci\u00f3n de los servicios de salud con base en las TIC, para ampliar la cobertura y mejorar la calidad de atenci\u00f3n a la salud. De igual modo, el Art\u00edculo 7 busca la promoci\u00f3n de la incorporaci\u00f3n, uso y aprovechamiento de las TIC en los servicios de salud. El CENETEC explica que la tecnolog\u00eda debe considerarse solamente como una herramienta para el fortalecimiento de necesidades y retos que enfrentan los servicios de salud. Adem\u00e1s, deben tomarse en cuenta tres aspectos: Seguridad del paciente; Seguridad del profesional de salud; y Seguridad en la transmisi\u00f3n de la informaci\u00f3n. La telesalud busca favorecer el acceso a servicios de salud en zonas remotas, mejorar la capacidad de organizaci\u00f3n y lograr mayor eficacia en los procesos de atenci\u00f3n. El CENETEC, reconoce la necesidad de que exista una regulaci\u00f3n espec\u00edfica para el correcto uso de las diferentes modalidades de la telesalud. Sobre todo, despu\u00e9s de que, en 2020, el uso de TIC en salud fue sumamente importante debido a la pandemia, para continuar con la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y el monitoreo a pacientes contagiados.
