Former lawmaker lobbies for bill to let docs practice telemedicine across state lines
Oct,22,2013
by+Susan D. Hall

Former Rep. Bill Gradison (R-Ohio) advocates for a telemedicine bill in the House that would allow doctors to treat Medicare patients across state lines in a post on The Hill's Healthwatch.
The TELEmedicine for MEDicare (TELE-MED) Act (H.R. 3077) would allow a doctor who has an established relationship with a patient to offer treatment to that patient anywhere in the United States without having to obtain multiple state medical licenses. Gradison calls the current medical licensure laws an example of policy not keeping up with advances in technology.

Let them speak! Obama missed golden opportunity to kill ACA urban legend
Oct,21,2013
by:+Veronica Combs

President Obama and the administration could have proved that there are real live people who have successfully purchased a health insurance policy through healthcare.gov. As he always does, the President had a lovely backdrop of smiling people standing behind him today when he spoke for the first time about the launch of the health insurance exchanges.
The session opened with a small business owner from Delaware who got insurance through the federal exchange. She said she was not old enough for Medicare but old enough to have a few health problems. Obama later said that previously the woman had been turned down for coverage three times due to pre-existing conditions. So, hooray for that one woman from Delaware.

HIE Watch
Bringing data back to the patient
Oct,17,2013
by:+ David Lareau

As the data tsunami continues with states well underway with HIE development and more ACOs coming online, we still have to bring it back to the patient and ask what will it take to make the millions of gigs of information out there make a real difference to the guy in the hospital gown? Or, to the grandmother rehabilitating from hip surgery at home?
Fortunately, the government’s investment in health information technology sharing has resulted in faster adaptation of EHRs and information sharing. Still, many clinicians don’t have convenient access to usable data for a specific patient encounter at the point of care. And this can only happen when all of this big data coming into the HIE and ACOs can be accessed and is usable by all users and in all settings.

Experts fear exchange glitches will worsen
Oct,16,2013
by:+Dina Overland

We all know the launch of health insurance exchanges have been inundated with technical glitches and other problems that hindered the enrollment process. Industry experts now are worried those hitches may not only continue but also may worsen.
"If we are already running into issues at the user account stage, we're going to run into a lot more issues when we get to the more complex operations at the [subsidy] eligibility determination," Dan Schuyler, senior technology expert at Leavitt Partners, told Politico. "That's the reality. It's a very complex process, and I think it's going to get worse before it gets better."

New Technology Lets Doctors Watch Patients From Afar

by:+Darius Tahir

ou may be weary of pundits bearing buzzwords about "data" and "big data" and proclaiming the geeky good news that the solutions to your problems are merely a set of numbers and a good algorithm away. But the proposition is being taken seriously by the health care industry. Providers are inspired by the convergence of two separate trends: the proliferation of ever-cheaper sensors and the Obamacare-inspired need to make more-informed decisions in order to deliver good care for less money.

Analysis: Most consumers don't complete exchange applications
Oct,18,2013
by:+ Dina Overland

The Obama administration touts a higher-than-expected interest in the initial rollout of the federal health insurance exchange but few of the millions of people accessing the website actually complete applications, according to a new analysis from consulting firm Kantar US Insights.
Using data from research firm Millward Brown Digital, Kantar found about 9.5 million unique people visited the federal exchange site in the first week. But less than half of 1 percent of those consumers, about 1 million people, actually completed the registration process. And only 271,000 people could successfully log into their accounts, while only 196,000 consumers could enter the enrollment stage.
