A recent study found out-of-state telemedicine visits were most common with those who lived near a state border, and were largely for primary and mental healthcare.

Hopes for a Senate telehealth bill passage, public health infrastructure modernization and the European Health Data Space are just a few of the priorities on the HIMSS agenda, says Tom Leary, the group's senior VP and head of government relations.

Policy changes and digital innovation are helping improve healthcare access for veterans and their families, according to Jim Gfrerer, former CIO at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, who also discusses the future of healthcare.

The Indian derma startup is also working to optimise its platform.

Specialty care was significantly more likely to result in concordant diagnoses between telehealth and in-person appointments, compared with primary care.

Researchers found physicians who provided more care through telemedicine also increased their time spent on after-hours EHR-based clinical and administrative work.

Dr. Tamsin Brown, a lead at NHS England Clinical Entrepreneur Programme and at ORCHA, says the pandemic created a mindset shift among patients and clinicians regarding digital tools and apps.

It also plans to double its headcount over the next 12 months.

A study published in JAMA Network Open found low health literacy and a higher area deprivation index were associated with more audio-only telehealth visits.
