Survey: One third of physicians use telemedicine, one fifth are reimbursed

Nov,13,2014

by: Jonah Comstock

Most healthcare practitioners are either using telemedicine or planning to use it soon, but less than a fifth of them are being paid for those services. That’s according to a survey recently conducted at the Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine (AIHM) annual conference in San Diego. AIHM surveyed 754 practitioners, 78 percent of whom were physicians. Neither the academy nor the conference is specifically focused on telemedicine or technology, but rather on acute care, a spokesperson told MobiHealthNews, so there is no obvious sampling bias toward telemedicine.

Online Shoppers Will Find Best Deals on Thanksgiving Day

by: Mike O'Brien

Thanksgiving Day will be the cheapest online shopping day this holiday season, according to Adobe's 2014 Holiday Shopping Predictions. With prices 4 percent lower than any other day, Thanksgiving revenue is predicted to reach a record $1.35 billion, a 27 percent increase from last year. "Everything we have been programmed to think about low prices is that the promotions are happening on Black Friday and Cyber Monday," says Tamara Gaffney, principal analyst for Adobe's Digital Index. But it appears that may not always be the case. "People tend to think that later on in the season, prices drop because retailers try to get rid of their inventory. That may be true in-store, but not online. After Cyber Monday, prices go back up."  Read More

The mHealth transformation will bring improved coordination of care, elimination of redundancy and inefficiency, shared accountability and, most critical of all, the active involvement of patients in healthcare efforts, Mary Annecharico, chief information officer at Henry Ford Health Systems, wrote in a commentary at CIO Review. Mobile health technology is also bringing about huge transitions for IT leaders within the healthcare industry, Annecharico said.

CMS to pay docs for care coordination, telehealth

Oct,31,2014

by: Melanie Evans

Doctors will be paid for Medicare care coordination, wellness and behavioral health telehealth visits. But, under final rules issued by the CMS late Friday, physicians also could see all Medicare payments cut by roughly 21% in April if the Medicare sustainable growth rate formula cuts are allowed to take effect. In addition, the rule eliminates a controversial reporting exemption under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act for indirect financial ties between industry and physicians. It expands quality-performance penalties to all doctors. And it contains new quality criteria for the Medicare Shared Savings Program, a test of the accountable care payment and delivery model that now includes more than 300 accountable care organizations.  Read More

Groups urge use of remote monitoring for more connected healthcare

Nov,06,2014

by: Dan Bowman

In comments submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services this week, both Health IT Now and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) urge increased use of remote patient monitoring technologies to create a more connected healthcare system. The comments came in response to CMS' request for information on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation's Health Plan Innovation Model Concepts. Health IT Now calls for the creation of a model telehealth program similar to that of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. "This model will ... create a continuum of care that is essential to patient care," the comments read. "The use of technology allows both providers and patients to remain engaged and informed about the condition or conditions being treated. It also allows for multiple providers to exchange data about a patient's condition and course of treatment." Such a model, according to Health IT Now, would include clinical video technology, home telehealth and store-and-forward telehealth.

How you handle any given situation can be subjective, depending on the brand and strategy. But that’s what makes it exciting for community managers to experiment with their own golden rules. Of course, with the major objectives of community management in mind: to make sure everyone is happy and to minimize the number of follow-up queries (this one’s more for the community manager’s sake). Here are some pointers I’ve gathered during my time community managing, which I have found to boost speed of workflow and overall efficiency by minimizing the number of bounce-backs.
