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
Nov,06,2014
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

Mobile tech to transform healthcare services, patient engagement
Nov,02,2014
by: Judy Mottl
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.  Read More

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.

Telemedicine gets a commercial payer with Iagnosis, Highmark collaboration
Oct,31,2014
by:   
One of the biggest barriers to wide-spread adoption of telemedicine is weather it’s covered by insurance, particularly for consumers who might embrace it more readily if it’s not cost prohibitive but also for employers looking to contain health plan costs. So it’s not without warrant that Iagnosis, the parent company of DermatologistOnCall, announced that starting next year, web-based visits will be a covered benefit for some 5.2 million members of Highmark Commercial Insurance, a Blue Cross Blue Shield-affiliated carrier based in Pittsburgh, across Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Delaware.

by: Melanie Evans 
 Healthcare spending growth for people who get their health insurance at work remained modest last year. Prices edged upward, but people in employer-based plans made fewer trips to doctors, hospitals and pharmacies. Health spending increased 3.9% in 2013 for roughly 40 million people with health benefits from an employer, according to the latest report from the Health Care Cost Institute. The analysis is based on about 5 billion medical bills submitted to private health plans, offering a snapshot of spending taken from the medical care for nearly 1 in 4 Americans with employer-based health insurance.

Malpractice insurer turns to digital health to reduce claims
Oct,29,2014
by: Jonah Comstock
 MIEC, an Oakland, California-based medical malpractice insurer, has teamed up with HealthLoop to turn the startup’s mobile and web-based communication platform toward a new use-case: decreasing the number of malpractice claims brought against a doctor or hospital.
“It is well known that most litigation cases are not due to actual malpractice or ‘bad surgeons,’ but rather because patients felt that they were not treated fairly as individuals or they didn’t understand the treatment recommendation,” Dr. Wendy Levinson wrote in a JAMA study in 1997. “Patients tend not to sue doctors they like and with whom they feel rapport; they sue doctors who never took the effort to get to know them and understand their beliefs and desires or who treated them without respect.”  Read More

As a business leader, you’re constantly being challenged to make complex decisions in a fast-paced, rapidly changing landscape. But to do this, you need more than factual data points. After all, if there were an easy answer, someone else in your company would have (hopefully) found it already. On the other hand, making knee-jerk decisions based on your intuition alone could permanently harm your company. Instead, you need a combination of hard data, trend insights, and intuitive discernment — you need high-quality industry information.  Read More
