Overview

Through the data validation process, valuable information is gained that can then be used to improve performance around patient care or quality of care metrics.  Improving quality performance may take the form of improving data collection processes, better identifying patients who need additional interventions, or decreasing missed opportunities to provide patients appropriate interventions, among other possibilities. This section includes guidance on leveraging Health IT to improve quality performance including change packages for recommended approaches related to various quality of care measures.

Adopting Telemedicine in Practice

From the American Medical Association's Steps Forward Series

AMA's Steps Forward Module discussed the adoption and implementation of telemedicine and telehealth, as well as telemedicine's opportunity to support patient and care team coordination and communication through remote patient monitoring

As AMA highlighted in this module, increasing administrative responsibilities—due to regulatory pressures and evolving payment and care delivery models—reduces the amount of time physicians spend delivering direct patient care. Telemedicine uses innovative technology to increase patient access, remotely manage acute and chronic conditions and support care coordination and communication among a patient’s health care team. When physicians and other providers work together to implement telemedicine tools, efficiencies in the health care delivery system can be improved.

  • This module includes:
    • Four steps to assist you in adopting this technology
    • Answers to questions about benefits and challenges of remotely monitoring patients
    • Case vignettes describing how other practices are successfully using telemedicine
