Abstract
Population ageing has become a global issue and triggered off societies to make new plans and tactics to face challenges arising from the phenomenon. Among various initiatives, electronic health records play an important role to help older persons to live in communities in a dignified manner. In this chapter, the author discusses briefly dignity in general, dignity in healthcare, and dignity of older persons. The author also examines the roles of and the legal risks inherent in electronic health records as a fundamental element of telehealth in facilitating dignified ageing in place, with an attempt to share some regional and international references from the medico-legal perspective with healthcare professionals and institutes.
