FROM THE ARTICLE:

"FDA is concerned about the proliferation of sites that substitute a simple online questionnaire for a face-to-face examination and patient supervision by a health care practitioner. According to the American Medical Association, a health care practitioner who offers a prescription for a patient he or she has never seen before, based solely on an online questionnaire, generally does not meet the appropriate medical standard of care. The Federation of State Medical Boards, Special Committee on Professional Conduct and Ethics, has found that “Prescribing of medications by physicians based solely on an electronic medical questionnaire clearly fails to meet an acceptable standard of care and is outside the bounds of professional conduct.” This finding is especially important in light of the primary responsibility of states in regulating the practice of medicine. FDA is also concerned that the use of such questionnaires may jeopardize the privacy of a patient’s medical records. We will continue to play a role in the Administration’s efforts with the private sector to implement appropriate protections for patient’s medical information. We also will continue to distinguish legitimate online communications from unlawful conduct that poses risks to patients.
