*Congressional Telehealth Caucus RFI: We Want Your Input!*

All,

The leaders of the bipartisan *Congressional Telehealth Caucus* recently
circulated a request for information *(view it here)*
<https://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=Io9hr&m=3VmCHsbd_hrOuaU&b=zfNw2buG.dhDRf6FFDd4RQ>
from telehealth stakeholders, as they are working to develop legislation to
introduce in the coming months. They’re looking to expand on some of the
successes of the last Congress (for example, the inclusion of provisions of
the CONNECT Act in last year’s Bipartisan Budget Act), and are seeking
suggestions, case studies, data, and any other relevant information that
could guide them in their work.

Per their letter, the Caucus is looking for potential ways to:

   - “Expand access to telehealth and remote monitoring, especially in
   rural and otherwise underserved communities;
   - “Improve patient outcomes, whether by expanding access to specialists
   or other providers or by easing the day-to-day patient experience;
   - “Encourage easier and expanded use of telehealth and remote monitoring
   technologies, many of which suffer from low uptake rates; and
   - “Reduce health care costs for both patients and federal programs,
   including Medicare.”

This is a tremendous opportunity for the telehealth community. We want your
input, ideas, and expertise—particularly since these are all topics that
we’ve focused on at length during CTeL Summits and beyond—for the memo that
the CTeL team is putting together. The deadline to submit ideas to the
Caucus is *April 1*, which we know is a short turnaround time. Please fill
out *this survey*
<https://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=Io9hr&m=3VmCHsbd_hrOuaU&b=LdoG9iGiy1kPsCLhi1c8Ww>
as soon as you can; we’ll compile the suggestions and share with the group
before we send our final memo to the Caucus members.

Thank you, as always, for your input. We look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

The CTeL team

P.S. Please also feel free to share this with any of your colleagues who
might be interested. And, as always, you can reach out to Lydia or Christa
with any questions.
