*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's 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."

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.

*Telehealth Arrives at St. Laurent Health Centre*

St. Laurent residents in Canada will now have access to speciality care
through the utilization of telehealth services.

According to  Kevin Beresford, Interlake Regional Health Authority's Chief
Executive Officer, "Expansion of video-conferencing technology linking
health-care providers to clients will ensure Interlake residents will get
the care they need closer to home.  Linking people to health-care expertise
at a distance reduces their travel time while increasing their access to
specialized services and continuing education."
