AMERICAN TELEMEDICINE ASSOCIATION<strong>2007</strong> Federal Policy Priorities<strong>Telemedicine</strong>: Bringing medical care to people – when and where they need it.Federal policy should be changed to allowconsumers, patients and health care institutionsto realize the benefits of telemedicine.Expand Medicare Reimbursement for Medical Services —Congress should extend Medicare reimbursement for remote medicaland health services for a) all remaining institutions eligibleto participate in Medicare but not currently eligible to be reimbursedfor telemedicine/telehealth services; b) all remainingmedical services currently covered under the CPT procedurecodes but not eligible to be reimbursed when provided viatelemedicine/telehealth; and c) medical services that are providedusing store-and-forward technology. Congress and CMS shouldencourage the use of home telehealth as a recognized and reimbursablecomponent in the provision of home care underMedicare’s Prospective Payment System (PPS), and should providereimbursement for the costs of deploying devices and relatedtechnology. Medicare should change its reimbursement rulesto allow existing patients to have vital signs monitored remotelyinstead of traveling to the provider’s office.Expand Support for Universal Services and EncourageInterconnections of Remote Healthcare Networks —All carriers of telecommunications services, regardless of modeof delivery, should contribute to the Federal Universal ServiceFund. The current rural health program should be reworked tosimplify the application and administrative process and shouldsupport the deployment of wireless networks within all eligiblehealth facilities as a cost-effective approach to expand accessto broadband services to the desktop of each physician andnurse. Any such changes should protect the support being providedto current approved facilities. Federal support of networkbridging between and among the 200 telemedicine networksthat exist in the U.S. will serve as an important component inexpanding healthcare services, improving medical education andcollaboration, and functioning as a foundation for the developmentof reach-back networks.Promote Health Information Technology <strong>Program</strong>s and theirCoordination with <strong>Telemedicine</strong> — Legislation that providesfinancial support for increased utilization of interoperable informationservices and technologies by healthcare institutions,especially the development and implementation of system-wideelectronic records, must continue to be introduced and realized.Networks already established for the delivery of remote healthcareshould be used to facilitate the development of regionaltechnology applications.Resolve Legal Barriers to <strong>Telemedicine</strong> — Congress and theadministration should work through such groups as the NationalGovernors <strong>Association</strong> (NGA), National Conference of StateLegislatures (NCSL) and Federation of State Medical Boards(FSMB) to craft an interstate agreement that will encourage medicallicensure cooperation among states; facilitate the exchangeof information regarding investigations and adverse actionsamong states; promote compliance with laws governing the practiceof medicine in each state; and invest states with the authorityto hold physicians accountable for meeting all state practicelaws.

AMERICAN TELEMEDICINE ASSOCIATION<strong>2007</strong> Federal Policy Priorities<strong>Telemedicine</strong>: Bringing medical care to people – when and where they need it.age the development of the accord and financial and regulatoryincentives that would be made available for each state thatadopts the agreement. The efforts of the National Council of StateBoards of Nursing (NCSBN) to implement a nationwide set ofmutual recognition laws within an interstate compact for thepractice of nursing using telemedicine also should be supported.State requirements to mandate payments for telemedicine servicesshould be accompanied with requirements that insurance carriersprovide malpractice coverage for those same services, and no federalor state laws should prohibit the ability of telemedicine programsto provide prescription drugs to patients.Institutionalize the Use of <strong>Telemedicine</strong> for EmergencyPreparedness and Response — Public policy should supportthe use of telemedicine to help prepare and respond to largeemergencies, whether caused by natural disaster or terrorist act.Such telecommunications connections can provide instant accessto resources at the nation’s tertiary care medical centers regardlessof location. Federal emergency management regulationsshould be amended to integrate the practice of telemedicinewithin Federal Disaster Medical Assistance Teams.Support Federal <strong>Program</strong>s and Initiatives that Advance theDeployment of <strong>Telemedicine</strong> Technology and Services — Theadvancement of programs and technologies that improve patientoutcomes, add efficiency to health systems, and help to alleviatethe disparity in health care resources can be accomplished throughleveraging appropriate public resources supporting telemedicine.Full funding for such programs is vital as the nation’s health caresystem copes with a crisis of cost and quality.ATA POLICY COMMITTEECHAIRNina Antoniotti, PhD, RN, MBA<strong>Program</strong> Director, Marshfield ClinicTeleHealth Network, Marshfield, WIATA INDUSTRY COUNCILPOLICY REPRESENTATIVEAlan DaleyGovernment Affairs Director,Verizon, Washington, DCDoris Barta, MHADevelopment Coordinator, St.Vincent Healthcare Foundation,Billings, MTSam Burgiss, PhDProfessor, Department ofRadiology, University of TennesseeGraduate School of Medicine,Knoxville, TNSusan Dimmick, PhDProject Manager, Oak RidgeAssociated Universities (ORAU)Oak Ridge Institute for Scienceand Education (ORISE), Oak Ridge;Adjunct Associate ProfessorUniversity of Tennessee HealthScience Center, <strong>Telemedicine</strong>Evaluation, Memphis, TNRon Emerson, RN, BSNDirector, Healthcare Markets,Polycom, Manchester, MEPramod Gaur, PhDConsultant, ViterionTeleHealthcare, Tarrytown, NYBarbara Johnston, MSNSacramento, CAJana Lindsey, RN, CMC<strong>Telemedicine</strong> Coordinator, ShrinersHospital for Children, Honolulu,Honolulu, HINeal Neuberger, CISSPPresident, Health Tech Strategies,LLC, McLean, VAKaren Rheuban, MDProfessor of Pediatrics (PediatricCardiology), Associate Dean forContinuing Medical Education andMedical Director of the Universityof Virginia Office of <strong>Telemedicine</strong>,University of Virginia HealthSystem, Charlottesville, VAStuart Speedie, PhDProfessor of Health Informatics,Director of Education Informatics,and Director of the HealthInformatics Graduate <strong>Program</strong>,University of Minnesota MedicalSchool, Minneapolis, MNJoseph Ternullo, JD, CPAAssociate Director, Partners Centerfor Connected Health, VicePresident, Continua HealthAlliance, Boston, MANancy Vorhees, RN, MSNChief Operating Officer, NorthwestHealth Partners, Inland NorthwestHealth Services, Spokane, WAA T A <strong>2007</strong> ■ G A YLORD OPRYLAND, NASHVILLE ■ WWW.AMERICANTELEMED.ORG ■ 7


AMERICAN TELEMEDICINE ASSOCIATION<strong>Telemedicine</strong> Standards & Guidelines Initiative<strong>Telemedicine</strong> practice guidelines, standards and quality assuranceprograms improve patient care and safety and acceleratethe adoption of uniform practices in the delivery of remotemedical care.ATA is working in partnership with the National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIST) to develop standards andguidelines and to establish quality assurance measures for thedelivery of healthcare using telecommunications technology.ATA’s Standards and Guidelines Committee sets overall policy forthe initiative and is developing a set of common terms and definitionsas well as an overall framework and work plan to be followedby work groups to develop standards and guidelines inspecialty areas.The Initiative includes two components:■ Development of standards and guidelines for specificpractice areas including technical, clinical and administrativeaspects, and■ Education, training and recognition to provide assurance thatguidelines are understood and are being incorporated intohealthcare practices.Work groups are composed of experts from clinical institutions,the private sector, government and other related stakeholderorganizations. Representation from members of ATA’s SpecialInterest Groups, relevant medical societies, technology groupsand the international community is critical to the success ofthis effort.Diabetic Retinopathy Practice Guidelines for telemedicine havealready been developed and published. Currently, aTeledermatology Work Group is partnering with members of the<strong>American</strong> Academy of Dermatology and others to develop a setof standards and guidelines for this specialty area.ATA’s initiative will lead to certification, credentialing and otherquality assurance measures so that payers, consumers and regulatorswill recognize telemedicine’s full potential to expandaccess to care and reduce costs while delivering high-qualitycare to people everywhere.To learn more about the ATA Standards and Guidelines Initiativeand how you can become involved, please contact ATA.<strong>American</strong> <strong>Telemedicine</strong> <strong>Association</strong>1100 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 540Washington, DC, 20036202-223-3333www.americantelemed.orgATA STANDARDS AND GUIDELINESCOMMITTEEChair: Hon S.

Fewer than 20% of children are adequately screenedfor vision problems in the U.S. today. The most common causes ofvisual impairment in children are refractive error, amblyopia, strabismus,and astigmatism. Amblyopia is present in 1 percent to 4percent of preschool children; an estimated 5 percent to 7 percentof preschool children have refractive errors. Unless successfullytreated in early childhood, amblyopia causes permanent visualloss.
