Telehealth

Given telehealth is radically changing how healthcare leaders imagine care delivery, there are a lot of preconceived notions about what works, and what doesn’t.

On one front, telehealth will become significantly closer to consumers on electronics everyone is very familiar with, the vendor’s CEO says.

Republican Rep. Ken Ivory introduced the amendment stating that practitioners “may not issue a prescription through electronic prescribing for a drug or treatment to cause an abortion."

The partnership aims to provide continuous monitoring to avoid readmissions, erratic clinic visits.

The new functionality will enable caregivers to use their cameras to conduct visits while accessing a patient’s electronic health record. 

The top U.S. health systems are increasingly looking to telehealth to envelope their patients and extend their reach.

Arizona-based Banner Health and Royal Philips have extended their ongoing collaboration on connected health innovations with a 15-year agreement. They plan to determine how telehealth can improve care management for patients with chronic conditions.

The founder of hcsmSA and co-founder of hcsmAFRICA talks about her hero, pet peeves, and what’s top-of-mind among her social media followers. 

Today, 50 million U.S. consumers would switch providers to one that offers telehealth, compared to 17 million in 2015.

CHIME CEO Russ Branzell commended her for pushing the envelope of what it means to be a chief information officer and HIMSS CEO Stephen Lieber said Arora advances the connection between IT and care quality.
