  4. Uniform set of rules for EHR and technology companies
  5. Immediate updating of data privacy and protection rules, as the current ones are outdated
  6. More clarity on consent
  7. Data breach must be separated from medical errors and other issues
  8. Protection to doctors and other healthcare providers
  9. Law / policy / framework to determine design of tele-consultation platforms
  10. A central body for verifying and certifying apps and digital platforms that engage in tele-consultation services
  11. Design software in such a way that all compliance norms, especially for data-security are built-in
  12. Permitting transactional data, but anonymous data for analytics
  13. Clarity on applicability of telehealth to homecare and e-prescriptions
  14. Doctor friendly and Patient friendly systems, easy to understand and use
  15. Using tele-health to build trust among doctors and patients
  16. Greater transparency in who uses the data, who has access to it, and who is its owner
  17. All members involved in physical healthcare delivery as well as tele-health must be made aware and imparted training in data privacy
