2 Health Care Reform/PPACA Economic Downturn Emerging Enabling Information Communication Technologies Need for more Access to Care An Aging Population/Baby Boomers Critical Shortage of Healthcare Providers EHR Adoption/HIE Meaningful Use ICD10/11 PCMH ACOs A Time for Telemedicine & e-health
3 Telemedicine and ehealth: The General Concept
4 Defining Telemedicine and Telehealth Tele- comes from the Greek root word meaning distant or remote / at a distance. Tele-phone Tele-vision Tele-graph Tele-gram Tele-scope Tele-Etc, etc, etc a combining form meaning distant, especially transmission over a distance, used in the formation of compound words
5 So What is Telemedicine/Telehealth? The use of advanced telecommunications technologies to exchange health information and provide healthcare services across geographic, time, social and cultural barriers (J. Reid) Telehealth is more than just video-conferencing and encompasses health information exchange and a spectrum of health information technologies It is simply the delivery of health services at a distance (A. Darkins)
6 Back to the Future
7 So What is e-health? Healthcare practice supported by electronic processes and communication Includes Electronic Health Records (EHR), Computerized Physician Order Entry, and e-prescribing Health Information Exchange (HIE) Digital Health
8 Health Information Exchange and Telemedicine : A Complimentary Piece of the Puzzle
9 Telemedicine and Health Information Exchange (HIE) Telemedicine creates the virtual consultation and provision of service between providers and patients = access to care HIE creates the consolidated virtual medical record about the patient from a variety of electronic health records and sources = access to the patient s health information
10 How is Telehealth & e-health used? Clinical ( Telemedicine ): Direct Patient Care and Consultation, Case Reviews Educational: Providers, Students, and Patients Research: Community-based Participatory, Outcomes driven Public Health Administrative: Strategic planning, Operations Sharing Health Information Enhanced Disaster Response
11 Telehealth as an Integral Part of Our Healthcare System Becoming a Standard of Care/Part of Work Flow Avoiding Unnecessary Variations in Care Part of Patient protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) The Triple Aim : Patient Centered, Improved Outcomes, Reducing Costs Prevention: Avoiding ED visits and Hospitalization Pay For Performance (P4P) Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) Impacting Ambulatory Sensitive Conditions Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH)
12 Telehealth and Health Information Technologies: Part of the Solution in Creating the Medical Home and Enhancing Access
13 Hitting the Targets: The Triple AIM Improve Patient Access Telehealth Improve Health Outcomes Reduce Costs
14 Involving the Patient
15 Telehealth Networks Rural/Remote Health Providers Can Access Expert Medical Opinions, Knowledge, Education via Telehealth Rural or Remote Location Patient Student Local Health Provider Telehealth Network Audio High-Resolution Images & Video Consultation Direct Patient Care Case Reviews Education Training Specialty Medical Center Medical Specialty Teams Health Information Exchange Community-Based Research

Connectivity and Technical Support Services 5. Network of Telemedicine Clinic Originating Sites 6. HIE Integration 7. Research and Evaluation, ROI, Value Based Accountability (VBA)
57 1. Need for Centralized NM Telehealth Resource Center Enhance coordination of telehealth services and provide platform for collaboration Provide a listing and contacts (Data Base/ Catalogue ) for specific available telehealth services Answer question regarding provision and receiving of telehealth services Provide telehealth education and training as needed Follow established guidelines and standards of care Evaluate the impact and provide CQI Serve as a single point of contact for other entities interested in telehealth
58 2. Ongoing Needs Assessment Telehealth services should be implemented that address define healthcare needs of communities, providers, and patients throughout NM Develop ongoing periodic surveys for needs assessments
59 3. Identify Issues and Barriers Affecting Telehealth Services Work with the Legislature, Governor s office, and State Departments, along with Governing and Regulatory Bodies to address those barriers and find solutions

Develop Affordable Appropriate Broad-band and Technical Support Services Develop Cash Match Fund for Federal Programs (FCC HCF, USDA DLT Grants) Work with DoIT Work with telecommunication industry Provide support services for the FCC and USDA related healthcare programs and subsidies Contract for secure, reliable NOC services
61 5. Develop Network of Telemedicine Clinic Originating Sites
62 6. Integrate with Health Information Exchange (HIE) initiatives Patient healthcare information, medical history, and documentation should go hand-in-hand with telemedicine services, similar to in-person services
63 7. Continued Quality Improvement Research and Evaluation Value-Based Accountability Return on Investment Meeting the Triple Aim Ongoing Assessment
64 Promoting Adoption and Overcoming Barriers It takes a Transdisciplinary Team and Collaboration Belief in the Value Demonstrating the Value Dedication Persistence
