This session provides an overview of the current state of telehealth, future capabilities and how utilization may influence health care team practices on multiple levels.

This presentation addresses the needs for improved access to care, new advances in rare-disease diagnosis, and treatments emerging with the rise of personalized precision medicine. New possibilities for collaboration among medicine, research and drug-development organizations are also discussed.

This podcast will share insights and perspectives directly from Deborah Hecht, who is an individual with achondroplasia and a mother and grandmother of children with achondroplasia.

This activity will provide participants with an overview clarifying the dynamics by which the business of health care is affected by the processes of capturing a patient’s reason for their visit and the care provided in response. With a focus on accurate coding that justifies patient services or procedures performed by the provider, it will examine the role of diagnostic-related group (DRG) classifications in payment determination under the inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS), payment systems, ICD-10 coding requirements and payer criteria. The roles of revenue cycles, payer methodologies and patient access in the business of health care will also be examined.
