WEBINAR: Challenges to Delivering (and Receiving) Telehealth Across State Lines

October 21, 2021

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, many statutory and regulatory restrictions on the use of telehealth were relaxed in order to facilitate the on-going provision of health care while in-person interactions for non-essential care were halted. Many states issued emergency orders to temporarily waive requirements that a clinician must be licensed in the same state where their patient is located at the time of care.

As many of these emergency waivers end, many patients and providers are wondering how current state-based clinician licensing systems can and will transform to meet the needs of a modern, technology-enabled health care system. On this webinar, you will hear from telehealth providers, clinician licensing experts, and patient representatives on current clinician licensing systems, challenges to providing and receiving health care across state lines, as well as how some states and clinician types are addressing these issues to facilitate cross-state telehealth and improve licensure portability.

WEBINAR: Keeping Up with the Exponential Growth & Evolving Strategies of Virtual Behavioral Health

October 12, 2021

While most of the nation and world is still in the throes of the pandemic, there have been some silver linings to emerge from this ongoing health crisis. Not only has mental health been talked about more openly than ever before, but many individuals are prioritizing their mental health and seeking needed care through new avenues—specifically virtual care. But just how prevalent is virtual behavioral health?

According to Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, nearly three quarters of its members’ mental health visits have been done virtually since the onset of the pandemic. And while many healthcare organizations have seen in-person visits return to near-normal levels, virtual behavioral health visits remain higher than ever. 

But what does this mean and how does it change future mental healthcare strategies? In this panel discussion, top virtual behavioral health experts discuss the quickly evolving behavioral health landscape, emerging trends and technology fueling its growth, the role of telehealth in acute psychiatric care, and how healthcare organizations can design mental health programs to meet changing consumer needs and preferences.  

Join eHI and behavioral health experts for this insightful discussion on emerging trends, challenges and opportunities on October 12th at 1:00 pm.

Report: Clinical Communication and Collaboration: Redefining the Patient Journey for Better Outcomes

October 01, 2021

As the pandemic evolved, an added strain was placed on Emergency Departments (EDs) with the need to isolate COVID-19 patients from those seeking emergent care and non-COVID-19 care. Minimizing time spent in the ED or bypassing the ED altogether, along with the suspension of facility-based elective care, became a priority. This caused a shift in the traditional patient journey. There was a heightened interest in virtual assessments and notification systems to improve the flow of patients through EDs. 

eHI collaborated with Everbridge to create this report.

Clinical Communication and Collaboration: Redefining the Patient Journey for Better Outcomes

September 30, 2021

Clinical communication and collaboration has always been critical to ensuring the delivery of timely, quality patient care. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the importance of both, providing insights of how providers can apply new strategies and technology for better patient outcomes. 

As the pandemic evolved, an added strain was placed on Emergency Departments (ED) with the need to isolate COVID-19 patients from those seeking emergent care and non-COVID-19 care. Minimizing time spent in the emergency department or bypassing the ED altogether along with the suspension of at-hospital elective care became a priority. This caused a shift in the traditional patient journey. There was a heightened interest in virtual assessments and notification systems to improve the flow of patients through emergency departments. 

The three case studies outlined in this brief, highlight how technology is being applied in new ways to support the patient journey from pre-arrival to departure.
 

WEBINAR: Pediatric Patient Matching in an Adult World

September 22, 2021

The growing demand for health information exchange brings the challenges of accurate patient identification to the forefront, especially for children who often don’t have common identifiers or have non-static demographic information. Patient matching is complicated for adults, so how do we address the unique challenges of patient identity matching in pediatrics?

 

eHI joins experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics, AHIMA, clinicians and technology leaders to discuss these challenges, including confidentiality concerns around matching children according to parental data and ensuring health data is accurate as children transition from pediatrics.

WEBINAR: Managing the Business of Value-Based Care Through Data

September 15, 2021

According to the latest survey data, 35.8% of all total U.S. health care payments were tied to alternative payment models (APMs) in 2018. While value-based care is growing, major hurdles to adoption must be addressed.

One key consideration in participating in and growing a value-based care model is building a provider network aligned with the goals of the payment model. Having access to up-to-date, reliable, and unbiased data can help identify which providers will best address the needs of a specific patient population and help your organization succeed in a value-based care model.

On this webinar, you will hear best practices and strategies for delivering value-based care from executives who are currently managing provider networks and health care data analytics experts.

Enter Real-Time Prescription Benefit (RTPB) technology that can display accurate prescription cost and coverage information at the point of care. 
 
This session highlights how RTPB can give providers actionable data, improve care team workflows, and reduce patient costs. Additionally, panelists explain how different types of prescription data feeds have driven mistrust in recent years, and what the future of ePrescribing may look like.
