Abstract

This paper examines the concept of digitalization of medical services as well as the role it plays in managing the risk of malpractice. Starting from the applications of technology in the medical field, this paper aims to analyze the possible effects and implications on the professional error committed in the exercise of the medical act that created damages. The article addresses a niche topic, in an area of strict specialty and interest. The authors debate aspects of the activity of providing medical assistance and the associated risk of malpractice in the context generated by new technologies. The research methodology used is mainly based on the review and synthesis of the existing literature.The conclusions are intended to be an invitation to academic dialogue and a starting point for researchers and practitioners.
