Progress Report Summary: The Telemedicine Development Act of 1996 established California as a national leader in the field of telehealth. This progress report says the law needs to be modernized, to boost telemedicine use and help California health policy keep pace with advances in technology.
This report is a CCHP background piece on CMS accreditation policy for telehealth practitioners. The report was produced by Health Management Associates for CCHP.
CCHP’s Model Statute Report identifies policies to promote greater, more beneficial use of telehealth across California. The report later became the basis for California’s Telehealth Advancement Act of 2011.
This is the executive summary of the CCHP telehealth model statute for California. It recommends modernizing state telemedicine and workforce laws, to encourage more robust adoption of telehealth technologies.
This project examined the need and opportunity for tele-ICUs in California through an environmental scan of critical care in California. Goals of the project were to (1) identify regions of the State with the greatest need for critical care capacity, improvement of ICU outcomes or efficiency, and (2) identify (and where possible, address) financial, regulatory and policy barriers to tele-ICU in California.
