New Era of Emergency Response and Remote Patient Monitoring

This session addresses new opportunities for health monitoring, including cardiac conditions, sleep disorders, and safety monitoring for all ages. It also assesses the limits of technology and the complimentary role played by home care services and other professionals supporting connected health models.

Who’s Paying for Healthcare? New Business Models

The healthcare industry is in the midst of widespread change, with digital delivery of care now commonplace. Increasingly, care providers and insurers are embracing patient-generated health data from devices and moving to a more consumer-centric design of delivering care at home. However, with the COVID-19 public health emergency set to end this year, emergency use authorizations and waivers for many initiatives will be phased out in 2023. This will impact reimbursement, channels, and the strategies of many companies. Players in the health at home space must be prepared to best position themselves to this coming change, evaluating their business models, services, and ways of delivering healthcare.

Understanding Reimbursements and Health Tech of the Future

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) established a temporary waiver program providing reimbursement for hospital-at-home services in 2020 and many healthcare providers are calling for a continuation of the program. At the same time, CMS reduced some payments for remote patient monitoring providers. Health systems, providers, and payors are still navigating the business models that make connected care work, with organizations engaged in value-based care models leading the way. This session addresses the impact of hospital at home programs, consumer and medical grade devices and the impact on understanding health status, and the future role of health tech in the home.
