Future Healthcare Today cultivates the latest news and trends in the health IT industry, with a particular focus on health it. In this week’s Roundup, we look at five forces driving telemedicine expansion in 2016, a new bipartisan bill that would extend health it services and the top ten questions physicians ask about health it.

All of this and more in this latest health it roundup:

CONNECT Bill Would Extend Telehealth Services via Medicare

A new bipartisan bill, known as the CONNECT Health Act, has been introduced in the Senate and would expand health it services through Medicare. The bill, co-sponsored by Senators Brian Schatz (D-HI), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Thad Cochran (MS), Ben Cardin (D-MD), John Thune (R- SD) and Mark Warner (D-VA), would make it easier for patients to connect with healthcare providers and help reduce costs for patients and providers. A companion bill has also been introduced in the House. The legislation, if passed, will modernize healthcare delivery and remove the barriers for health it.

That is quite a spike from the one-third of employers that currently offer their employees health it and the 22 percent that offered health it back in 2014. Yet the upward trend looks hopeful and the benefit for employers is investing in employee’s health and happiness.
