Mobile tech to transform healthcare services, patient engagement
Nov,02,2014

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. It is serving as a driver "for the increasingly essential patient and provider interaction in a secure and interoperable manner," while also filling the gaps in improving clinician workflow and proactive decision making, she said.

CMS to pay docs for care coordination, telehealth
Oct,31,2014

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.

Groups urge use of remote monitoring for more connected healthcare
Nov,06,2014

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. Read More
