隨著智慧醫療與遠距醫療的普及，因為沒有空間與時間的限制，降低了醫療照顧服務品質的城鄉差距；近兩年因COVID-19盛行，智慧遠距醫療已成為醫療常規之一，過去依賴經驗豐富的專家進行醫療決策的準則，在高度感染風險的社區及醫院已迅速的發生典範轉移。護理人員身為跨專業團隊重要的成員，必須快速了解智慧醫療的要件、研發過程，更需要了解置身其中的責任、義務、智慧財產權的保障與法律風險的規避，將有助於未來參與智慧醫療研發、臨床照護標準擬訂、智慧醫療法規與相關政策的擬訂。本文亦針對遠距醫療相關的法律議題，進行深入淺出的討論與分析。

Smart healthcare and telemedicine are shortening the gap in the quality of medical and healthcare available to urban and rural communities and allowing care to be provided free of space and time limitations. The COVID-19 pandemic has hastened the general adoption of telemedicine as a protocol in hospitals and healthcare and led to a rapid paradigm shift from medical expertise to telemedicine eHealth. Because nurses play a significant role as members of interdisciplinary teams, we are expected to quickly adapt to and use artificial intelligence and other new technology innovations. This article elucidates the intellectual-property-right-related responsibilities and obligations of nurses and attendant legal risks in the context of smart medical research, clinical care standards, information laws and rules, and related policymaking. In addition, the legal issues related to telemedicine are discussed and analyzed.
