Washington stakeholders discuss audio-only telemedicine rules - State of Reform

Washington stakeholders discuss audio-only telemedicine rules Share this: The Washington State Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) held a stakeholder meeting on new rules requiring health plans to reimburse for audio-only telemedicine services on July 12.  Stakeholders voiced concerns over language in ESHB 1196 particularly relating to what they felt could be restrictions on where services could be provided, and who could be reimbursed for providing them.      Don Downing, a University of Washington pharmacy professor and representative of the Washington State Pharmacy Association, said language in the bill made it confusing as to where the patient would be allowed to access telemedicine from. 

Study model explores impact of police action on population health

Understanding how law enforcement impacts population health is a complex but important effort. Nathan Rupert/Flickr A specific police action, an arrest or a shooting, has an immediate and direct effect on the individuals involved, but how far and wide do the reverberations of that action spread through the community? What are the health consequences for a specific, though not necessarily geographically defined, population? The authors of a new UW-led study looking into these questions write that because law enforcement directly interacts with a large number of people, “policing may be a conspicuous yet not-well understood driver of population health.”
