FREE Webinar!
Credentialing and Privileging: The Latest Status

Hear from CMS and Dr. Karen Rheuban on the latest proposal to fix credentialing 
and privileging for telehealth providers...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Telehealth Leader,
On Thursday, June 10th, the Center for Telehealth and e-Health Law (CTeL) is hosting
a FREE Webinar, titled Credentialing and Privileging: the Latest Status!

CTeL is excited to announce its guest lecturers for this seminar will be: Dr. Karen
Rheuban, Professor of Pediatrics, Senior Associate Dean for External Affairs and
 Continuing Medical Education and Medical Director of the Office of Telemedicine
 at the University of Virginia; and Jeannie Miller, RN, MPH, Deputy Director of 
the Clinical Standards Group in the Office of Clinical Standards and Quality at 
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).


Dr. Rheuban and Ms. Miller were instrumental in bringing together advocates in telehealth
community and key policymakers at CMS to address the issue of credentialing and 
privileging of telehealth providers. These continued efforts have led to a CMS proposed
rule change to the Medicare and Medicaid Conditions of Participation. These changes,
if adopted, would streamline the credentialing and privileging process for telehealth
providers across the country.


The seminar will focus on CMS' recent announcement regarding the proposed rule change
for the credentialing and privileging process for  telehealth providers.

A summary of that proposed rule change, excerpted from the Federal Register Notice,
is listed below:

"This proposed rule would revise the conditions of participation (CoPs) for both
 hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs). These revisions would allow for
 a new credentialing and privileging process for physicians and practitioners providing
telemedicine services."

the link to the Federal Register Notice.


Please mark your calendar for next Thursday, June 10th, for an informative presentation
of credentialing and privileging and the impact this proposed rule change will have
on telehealth providers.

Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute gets $2.2 Million to Study Telemedicine,
Asthma
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arkansas Children's Hospital has been awarded a five year grant of $2.2 million.
 This grant will be used to fund a five year study on the "use of school telemedicine
sessions involving a doctor and a student suffering from asthma."

According to the press release, "The research will put video-conferencing systems
in six schools so recruited students with asthma can have regular education appointments
with specialists in Little Rock, while six other schools without the video gear 
will act as control sites."
