Abstract
A system and method designed to overcome or work with the geopolitical restraints on medical practice that presently hampers the process of conducting physician patient telemedicine sessions across different geopolitical zones such as different states or different countries. The method uses at least one Internet server and database, which may optionally reside or have an IP address within in the one or more geopolitical zones where the physician is licensed to practice medicine. The database will often contain lists of physician authorizations to conduct telemedicine in various other geopolitical zones, lists of patient telemedicine waivers, as well as information pertaining to the physician's specialty, rating, fee structure, and availability. The database may additionally contain other features such as lists of translator availability and patient electronic health records. The server may additionally facilitate video conferencing by presenting a unified user interface and/or relaying video teleconferencing data packets between participants.
