We cordially invite you to join us for the final webinar in our four-part Digital Health webinar series, entitled Telehealth: Implementation Challenges in an Evolving Dynamic.  Telehealth services are proliferating. The promise of greater access, improved quality and lower costs associated with the integration of mobile and other technology into the health care delivery system is affecting the perspectives of consumers, providers and payors.    While the technology appears to be delivering, the regulatory environment has been slow to adapt to the rapid pace of innovation.  Implementing a telehealth environment can be challenging, as the adoption of new approaches that have clear access requires quality to be reconciled with the complexity of the health care regulatory environment. During this webinar, we will explore, among other topics, the following:

  • Challenges associated with licensure for health care professionals and scope of practice in a telehealth setting
  • The slow evolution of reimbursement for telehealth services
  • The increasingly complicated privacy environment for mHealth services and the digital technology through which they are delivered
  • The sometimes “hidden” impact of fraud and abuse and patient engagement regulation
  • Tactics for effectively addressing some of these challenges
