Telemedicine in Healthcare Delivery
Event Information
Description
Please join HLNY for our next event: Telemedicine in Healthcare Delivery.
Telemedicine has become increasingly popular throughout the years. Its innovative benefits are of vital interest amid the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Telemedicine uses a variety of forms of electronic communication technology to provide a convenient method to deliver healthcare services and education. This panel will explore the current and future role of telemedicine in the delivery of health care. The panel surveying the various uses and settings of telemedicine will delve into how well this technology has been utilized and received by clinicians and patients. Technical, operational, regulatory and financial aspects of the development of telemedicine programs will be investigated. The expanding role that telemedicine holds in daily medicine and its direction into the future of the healthcare delivery system will be explored.
Some of the topics we will cover:
- How telemedicine has been used to care for patients and in what settings.
- How effective telemedicine has been in the treatment of patients
- The technical and operational issues that must be considered in the development of telemedicine services.
- Legal and regulatory implications of employing telemedicine in the care of patients.
- The financial and reimbursement implications of employing telemedicine in the care of patients.
- Future applications of telemedicine and how the potential shift in healthcare reimbursement toward assuming greater risk may impact health care providers’ use of telemedicine.
HLNY is excited to offer this program in collaboration with our colleagues at the NYS Chapter HIMSS. HIMSS members in attendance will earn 1.5 CE hours towards CAHIMS & CPHIMS Continuing Education.
