Brief overview of the legalities surrounding the adoption of telemedicine and electronic medical records for MCDM Law Com 558 class. Twitter feed: #com558.
Emdeon is a leader in the national health information network with 155 million patients, 350,000 providers, 1,200 payers, and 5 billion transactions annually. Emdeon aims to make healthcare more efficient by reducing costs and improving quality through increased transparency. However, increasing transparency in healthcare is challenging due to the lack of standardized digital data and pricing information not being available to consumers at the point of service. There are now over 20 separate initiatives underway to increase transparency in healthcare.
CMS controls 50% of the healthcare payer market in the US. Many provider networks are failing due to economic factors and changes in technology. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has also contributed to disruption, though it was not mature enough to achieve its long-term goals. Moving forward, integrated healthcare systems involving public-private partnerships between payers, providers, and technology companies will be necessary to sustain the system and maintain access to care.
The document discusses the growth of the Indian healthcare industry and opportunities for disruption through new technologies and models of care. It notes that the healthcare market in India is projected to reach $307 billion by 2025 but faces challenges around access, affordability, and quality. To meet future demand and improve health outcomes, traditional approaches would require building vast new infrastructure. However, the document advocates for a new "predict, monitor, and prevent" model of healthcare enabled by technologies like telemedicine, remote monitoring, and mobile health apps to improve access, costs and quality in a more scalable way.
Fraudulent healthcare claims decrease available funds for quality patient care in the US. While recent laws aim to prevent fraud, improper payments remain high. Current methods detect fraud after payment, which is costly to recover. Reducing fraud requires verifying provider identities upfront using analytics of identities, claims, and social networks. This "defense in depth" approach at the start of the claims process could eliminate billions lost to improper payments each year.
In a new study by Market Connections, Inc. and Professional Services Council (PSC), 70 percent of government IT decision-makers report moderate to high impact of the “convergence” of technology and professional services, or consumption-based “as a service” acquisition approaches, on the government marketplace.
The study benchmarks the status of convergence and reveals gaps in adoption and understanding between government and the contractors who serve them. Both government decision-makers and contractors agree that convergence is causing a shift in how government buys and industry provides solutions, yet government respondents reveal significant perceived barriers to adoption such as security risks and cost concerns.
“Convergence represents a fundamental shift in the way government is doing and will continue to do business,” said Stan Soloway, PSC president. “This will require adjustments to requirements and acquisition models, and companies will have to work with their customers to help them understand and fully leverage the benefits of ‘as a service’ models.”
The document discusses the establishment of electronic health records (EHRs) in the US. It summarizes the HITECH Act which provides $19 billion in incentives for healthcare providers to adopt health IT systems like EHRs. It allocates $17 billion for physician incentives and $2 billion for HHS to develop standards, infrastructure grants, and strengthen privacy laws regarding health information. The funding is frontloaded and providers must demonstrate "meaningful use" of EHRs to receive incentives which maximize in 2011 but decrease thereafter.

Corruption Risks in the Healthcare Marketplace: Why Transparency is the Righ...MeTApresents
Corruption undermines healthcare systems and puts lives at risk. Studies show corruption has large financial costs and reduces access to healthcare. Corruption risk comes from the complexity of healthcare systems with multiple stakeholders and decision points, as well as imbalances of information. Transparency can help address corruption by supporting accountability, reducing corruption, and promoting equitable access to medicine. Critical areas for transparency include regulatory policies, prices, quality, quantities, and procurement data. Transparency solutions include harmonized regulation, greater access to information, and public reporting on anti-bribery programs. Transparency alone is not enough and must be accompanied by measures like integrity pacts and whistleblower protections.

Is US Biotechnology in Jeopardy? By Richard W. Bank, MDRichard W Bank MD
The document discusses the potential impacts of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) on the US biotechnology industry. While proponents believe the law will increase demand for drugs and biotechnology by expanding insurance coverage, the document notes that some investors see the federal government intervention as bad for the economy. Additionally, the medical device tax and potential rise in insurance premiums caused by increased coverage of expensive treatments introduce uncertainties for the biotech industry. The document was written by Richard W. Bank, an experienced biotechnology investor and entrepreneur.
Paul Young discusses reforming healthcare. He analyzes global healthcare spending and reviews efficient healthcare countries. Several sources of waste and inefficiency are identified in the US and Canadian healthcare systems, including fraud and mismanagement estimated at $11-25 billion annually in Canada. Automation technologies like robotic process automation and artificial intelligence show promise in reducing costs. Performance audits across government and the private sector could help streamline operations and identify additional savings. Comprehensive reform is needed to control costs and curb waste while emphasizing value and improved patient outcomes.

This document discusses the potential of wearable technologies to create behavior changes for patients. It outlines several key points:
1) Wearables can act as triggers to collect data and monitor patients, but are not enough on their own to drive behavior change. Increased ability through enhanced administration and motivation are also needed.
2) Three phases are defined to build individualized experiences - starting with ensuring ability and confidence, then enhancing the experience, and finally social integration.
3) Wearables are only one piece of improving adherence. True behavior change comes from enhanced patient experiences, which wearables may enable by acting as triggers and data collectors.

The document discusses emerging home health monitoring technologies that promise to enhance care for aging patients and reduce healthcare costs through remote patient monitoring. However, reimbursement from Medicare and other payers has not kept pace, posing financial challenges for healthcare providers looking to adopt these technologies. Some states have begun reimbursing for telehealth services, but widespread reimbursement will be necessary for these technologies to truly transform home healthcare. The future of home health monitoring depends on resolving the conflict between providers wanting to invest in new technologies and payers refusing to pay until technologies are proven effective.

Abstract/Details
Abstract
[...]when IF vendor Sykes recently surveyed 2,000 U.S. adults, two-thirds said that COVID-19 has
made them more willing to try telehealth options, with one-quarter reporting that they had not
considered it before the outbreak. According to telemedicine provider American Well's Telehealth
Index: 2019 Physician Survey, 20% of physicians use this technology, an increase of 15% since
2015. ESTABLISHING TELEMEDICINE BEST PRACTICES "Just as hospitals have emergency
response plans to deal with mass casualty events, or epidemics, so too must they institute good
cyber hygiene practices in order to protect sensitive data," Kneip said, "Due to the sensitive and
unique nature of the information they possess, all players within the health care industry must
harden their networks and verify their third-party providers to ensure the data they are responsible
for is protected."

As the novel coronavirus COVID-19 continues to spread, medical systems around the world are
stretched thin. And with people practicing social distancing and staying at home to slow the spread
of the virus, more medical consultations are moving online. Telehealth, or telemedicine, allows
patients to meet with doctors and other medical personnel via video over the internet, often
through a thirdparty videoconferencing platform. While the technology has existed for years, the
urgency of avoiding in-person contact and facilities where people with COVID19 are being treated,
as well as the possible cost savings of virtual visits, have led to a recent surge in its popularity. In
fact, when IF vendor Sykes recently surveyed 2,000 U.S. adults, two-thirds said that COVID-19
has made them more willing to try telehealth options, with one-quarter reporting that they had not
considered it before the outbreak.
According to telemedicine provider American Well's Telehealth Index: 2019 Physician Survey,
20% of physicians use this technology, an increase of 15% since 2015. More than 60% who are
not currently using it also indicated that they would be likely to start in the next two years. But
providers appear to be reticent about telehealth due to prohibitive costs. Before the COVID-19
outbreak, the American Medical Association (AMA) noted, "despite regulatory and legislative
changes to encourage the use of telemedicine, the financial burden of implementing it may be a
continuing barrier for small practices." These costs can include setting up expensive IT
infrastructure and ensuring that this infrastructure is secure against cyberattacks and compliant
with HIPAA regulations governing patient confidentiality.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
announced a $200 million program to .
The document discusses how healthcare is shifting from a hospital-centric model to a more distributed, data-rich and consumer-centric model driven by emerging technologies like the Internet of Things. Key factors driving this change include an aging global population, rising chronic diseases, and workforce shortages. The integration of data from various medical devices, health apps and other sources could help address inefficiencies but requires standards.

This document discusses the financial challenges facing hospital CFOs as the healthcare system transitions to value-based care. It notes that healthcare costs are rising faster than GDP and revenues, driven by factors like legislation and an aging population. This is putting pressure on CFOs to control costs. The top priorities for capital expenditures according to a survey are mergers and acquisitions to gain efficiencies of scale, investing in clinical technology and new facilities to improve patient care and outcomes, and transition to value-based models. Reduced reimbursements from Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance exchanges are a major concern as they squeeze hospital margins. CFOs must allocate scarce capital to address these challenges while implementing electronic medical records and meeting other regulatory requirements.

IDC White Paper - Integrated Patient Record - Empowering Patient Centric Care...buntib
Despite the growing use of electronic health records (EHRs) and health information exchange (HIE) technologies, providers and payers still face challenges with regard to accessing all the information known about a given patient or member. Patient health information can be trapped in siloed healthcare information systems, paper-based documents and processes, or non-machine-readable documents. An integrated view of patient information improves the experience of clinicians by enabling them to better serve their patients, which in turn leads to better outcomes. The ability to create comprehensive patient-centric records is crucial for improving not only quality of care but also patient safety.
