Telemedicine or remote medicine refers to provision of medical services using information and communication technology, where the provider and recipient of the health service are geographically far from each other. In this study, the clinical, ethical, legal, as well as security and confidentiality aspects of health information in telemedicine have been discussed.

The present article is a narrative review paper that has been prepared based on the authors' experiences and a review of relevant literature.

Physician training on patient safety in telemedicine, preparing patients to accept this kind of technology, and building medical equipment related to remote clinical examinations are very important issues that must be addressed for the successful implementation of telemedicine.

Telemedicine is proposed as a potent solution for improving healthcare access in remote regions, reducing expenses, and addressing challenges related to patient travel. To promote adoption of telemedicine, it is crucial to focus on creating well-defined regulations, implementing quality control systems, fostering interactive platforms, considering ethical and legal aspects, providing comprehensive training, and formulating policies to facilitate the integration of telemedicine services.
