Telemedicine offers increased access to doctors, improved quality and continuity of care, and reduced time lost from work and travel costs. It can be provided by physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and community mental health centers. Common telemedicine services include telehealth consultations and visits for inpatient or outpatient care. Telemedicine does not include audio-only calls, home video, Skype, email, faxes, or telephonic monitoring. Referrals and preauthorizations may still be required depending on the insurance plan. Telemedicine services are billed using specific codes, with the originating site billing Q3014 and the provider billing evaluation and management codes with a GT modifier.
The Virginia HIT Regional Extension Center (VHIT) is a team of experienced health IT professionals that helps primary care providers in Virginia select and implement electronic health record (EHR) systems to meet Medicare and Medicaid meaningful use criteria.

The challenges and benefits of implementing and using personal health and car...Patients Know Best
This document discusses the challenges and benefits of implementing personal health records from the perspectives of suppliers, clinicians, and patients. It outlines how current systems fragment patient information across different providers and exclude patients from their own information. A patient-controlled integrated digital care record is proposed as a solution to integrate information and put patients in control by allowing them to share their health information with whoever they choose through granular consent options. Benefits include coordinated care through secure sharing, improved communication, remote management of care plans and test results, and collaborative care planning. The document provides examples of how Patients Know Best software enables these features and has been adopted widely in the UK and other countries.
This document discusses how technology can help put patients first by improving healthcare delivery through electronic medical records, telemedicine, mobile health apps, and other digital innovations. However, it notes that meaningful change requires addressing challenges such as interoperability issues, usability problems, engaging patients, changing behaviors, and demonstrating clear returns on investment. Overall, technology must be developed and implemented carefully in partnership with doctors to truly benefit patients.

This document discusses eHealth and its importance in addressing challenges facing healthcare systems. It makes three key points:
1) Healthcare systems are under pressure due to aging populations, chronic diseases, budget cuts and changing workforce. eHealth can help increase efficiency, accessibility and quality of care.
2) eHealth involves various digital health applications that empower patients, enable remote care and information sharing between providers. This represents a shift from cure-focused to prevention and patient-centered care.
3) For eHealth to scale up, it must be integrated into organizational strategies and daily healthcare practices. Successful digital transformations require leadership commitment, change management, and business model adaptation. Standardization and interoperability are also important to accelerate
The Internet of Healthy Things (IoHT) for Healthcare Organizations WebinarTodd Winey
The Internet of Things will impact many industries and healthcare can benefit by the potential of IoT to deliver real time information to providers. However, IoT technologies applied to healthcare data require a thoughtful approach to managing data that is not present in other IoT applications. Nearly all IoT data in healthcare can be associated with a patient, and healthcare organizations looking to leverage the potential of IoT data should establish thoughtful data plans. This webinar provides an introduction to the state of IoT technologies in healthcare and provides an outline of things healthcare organizations must consider as they plan to integrate IoT technologies into their care processes. From patient generated data to remote medical device management IoT can extend the visibility of organizations far beyond the institutional walls to improve provider understanding of patient status, but managing IoT data will require many of the same expectations we have today for any PHI.
M-health for cost savings and care managementAndy Arends
This document summarizes a presentation about using mobile health (m-health) technologies for cost savings and care management. It discusses what m-health refers to, common goals in using m-health like reducing readmissions and engaging members, barriers to m-health usage like cost and technology integration, and a case study on a telemonitoring program for congestive heart failure patients that led to reduced hospitalizations. The presentation concludes by discussing next steps in areas like remote monitoring, care coordination and wellness programs.
Diagnotes open app challenge - phase 1 submissionDiagnotes
The document describes a communication system called Diagnotes that connects patients and healthcare providers. It allows patients to contact on-call providers by phone, and providers to contact each other by phone or text. It retrieves patient medical records and allows providers to document encounters directly from their smartphone. The system addresses issues with on-call care like lack of patient history and secure communication. It connects patients to providers, retrieves medical records, and allows documentation from smartphones.
Patient-centric care is rooted in the idea that all healthcare decisions and quality measurements are driven by the individual’s specific health needs and desired health outcomes. One of the advantages of the patient-centric system is how it allows the healthcare system to build a closer, more holistic relationship with the patient. The telehealth system brings one such important bridge into view. With its various facilities that enhance convenience, healthcare centers are actively investing in telehealth software. EMed HealthTech shares the idea of patient-centric care, a revolutionary way to offer healthcare that is beneficial for all parties involved.
How Interconnectivity Is Enabling The Future Of Patient-Driven HealthKent State University
1) Connected health technologies like wearables, home devices, and remote patient monitoring apps have the potential to transform chronic disease management by allowing patients to manage conditions at home independently.
2) Remote patient monitoring is increasingly being used to monitor chronic conditions like congestive heart failure and is showing success in reducing hospital admissions. Technologies also support healthy aging by enabling aging in place.
3) While connectivity offers opportunities, deploying and managing these systems poses challenges for providers and patients regarding technical support, data security and privacy, and maintaining remote monitoring equipment.
