Book excerpt: The use of telemedicine, or remote clinical consultations, was limited in most OECD countries before the COVID-19 pandemic, held back by regulatory barriers and hesitancy from patients and providers. In early 2020, as COVID-19 massively disrupted in-person care, governments moved quickly to promote the use of telemedicine. The number of teleconsultations skyrocketed, playing a vital role in maintaining access to care, but only partly offsetting reductions in in-person care. This brief describes how governments scaled up remote care during the pandemic and explores the impact that this massive shift to remote care has had on health care system performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work intends to analyze the policies surrounding the use of telemedicine in the United States. More specifically, there will be an analysis of the systems and their effects due to the current world pandemic, COVID-19. Healthcare providers are now subject to new mandates, which are temporarily enacted to assist with increased patient flow resulting from COVID-19. Medicare and Medicaid have made significant adjustments to make healthcare more accessible to their patients. Individual states have altered the structure of their services. Government agencies, such as the Department of Health and Human Services, have become slightly more lenient in enforcing measures that typically protect the patient and the healthcare provider. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act has served as a stimulus package that provides health providers and beneficiaries with funding and new, temporary provisions intended to last through September 2021. The pandemic has created a unique challenge to delivering healthcare and created a significantly more difficult workload to manage. While telemedicine existed long before the onset of COVID-19, health providers have made strides to meet the needs of their patients in entirely new ways. Telemedicine has significantly increased access to acute and chronic care, becoming relied upon as the United States battles this pandemic. By providing an analysis of existing policies, the benefits and shortcomings associated with telemedicine may become more apparent.

Download or read book The Role of Telehealth in an Evolving Health Care Environment written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) released its report Telemedicine: A Guide to Assessing Telecommunications for Health Care. In that report, the IOM Committee on Evaluating Clinical Applications of Telemedicine found telemedicine is similar in most respects to other technologies for which better evidence of effectiveness is also being demanded. Telemedicine, however, has some special characteristics-shared with information technologies generally-that warrant particular notice from evaluators and decision makers. Since that time, attention to telehealth has continued to grow in both the public and private sectors. Peer-reviewed journals and professional societies are devoted to telehealth, the federal government provides grant funding to promote the use of telehealth, and the private technology industry continues to develop new applications for telehealth. However, barriers remain to the use of telehealth modalities, including issues related to reimbursement, licensure, workforce, and costs. Also, some areas of telehealth have developed a stronger evidence base than others. The Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) sponsored the IOM in holding a workshop in Washington, DC, on August 8-9 2012, to examine how the use of telehealth technology can fit into the U.S. health care system. HRSA asked the IOM to focus on the potential for telehealth to serve geographically isolated individuals and extend the reach of scarce resources while also emphasizing the quality and value in the delivery of health care services. This workshop summary discusses the evolution of telehealth since 1996, including the increasing role of the private sector, policies that have promoted or delayed the use of telehealth, and consumer acceptance of telehealth. The Role of Telehealth in an Evolving Health Care Environment: Workshop Summary discusses the current evidence base for telehealth, including available data and gaps in data; discuss how technological developments, including mobile telehealth, electronic intensive care units, remote monitoring, social networking, and wearable devices, in conjunction with the push for electronic health records, is changing the delivery of health care in rural and urban environments. This report also summarizes actions that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) can undertake to further the use of telehealth to improve health care outcomes while controlling costs in the current health care environment.

Download or read book Telehealth Success written by Brandon M Welch, MS PhD and published by Forbesbooks. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctors Aditi Joshi and Brandon Welch were already telehealth veterans by the time the Covid-19 pandemic changed the industry's trajectory virtually overnight. Dr. Joshi was busy as the medical director of telehealth in one of the few emergency departments that had long taken telehealth seriously. Meanwhile, as the co-founder and CEO of the telehealth software company doxy.me, Dr. Welch watched his user base explode from 80,000 users to 750,000 in a matter of weeks during the first lockdowns. As the pandemic waned, Dr. Welch was struck by a subsequent dropoff in general telehealth usage, and assembled a team of researchers to root out its cause. Their ultimate answer came down to one word: success. Clinicians who were successful with telemedicine continued to use it, and those who weren't fell off when it was no longer their only option. After thousands of hours exploring what precisely telemedicine success entails, his team concluded that telemedicine success rests upon five pillars: Patient success: Patients need to receive the quality of care they desire, in the way they prefer. Clinician success: Clinicians and organizations need to provide quality care in a way that works for them. Technology success: Telehealth technology must work well and be easy to use. Financial success: Clinicians, payers, and patients need to benefit financially from using telehealth. Compliance success: Clinicians need to stay out of legal trouble and use healthcare laws and regulations to their advantage. From this foundation, Dr. Welch resolved to write a book that charted a course into medicine's post-pandemic future, and partnered with Dr. Joshi to incorporate her indispensable clinical perspective. Together, they dive into what success in each category means, and how clinicians of all kinds, in all kinds of organizations, can achieve it. By following the strategies outlined in this book, healthcare organizations can go from simply using telemedicine to thriving by using it to its full potential. Through telehealth, the healthcare of the future stands to be more accessible, more convenient, more affordable, and more equitable, and this book provides a thorough roadmap to get there.
