Health information technology (IT) interoperability was a theme at the recent annual meeting of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), according to a recent article in HIT Infrastructure.
CAST Commissioners recently brainstormed innovations in engaging providers and payers in information sharing, as well as learned about CAST’s recent accomplishments and 2019 goals. The bi-annual meeting occurred in conjunction with the 2018 LeadingAge Annual Meeting & EXPO, on Oct. 27, 2018, in Philadelphia, PA.
The nation’s 200 largest not-for-profit multi-site senior living organizations are using technologies to carry out electronic documentation, monitor older adults' safety, and support physical exercise and rehabilitation, says the 2018 LeadingAge Ziegler 200 (LZ 200).

As artificial intelligence (AI) moves to the mainstream, the Direct Supply Innovation & Technology Center, a LeadingAge Silver Partner, shares ways that AI can enhance senior living.
The ever-growing need to improve healthcare depends on foundational infrastructure technology, including integration and interoperability, according to HIT Infrastructure. "EHR Integration Among Top Health IT Infrastructure Priorities" says that integrating health IT tools with electronic health records (EHRs) can be a challenge, but it helps organizations tap real-time communication and provide a better patient experience.
A proposed Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) rule that expands access to telehealth services could be a win for home health providers and technology vendors, according to a recent article in Home Health Care News (HHCN), as well as patients.
In October, CMS proposed a rule that would give Medicare Advantage (MA) plans more flexibility to reimburse telehealth benefits in urban and rural locations. Currently, only clinical settings in rural areas can receive that reimbursement, with some exceptions in Alaska and Hawaii.
No longer a luxury, technology is now something the senior care industry needs to keep residents happy, healthy, and active. This idea was a big takeaway from the 2018 LeadingAge Annual Meeting and EXPO, held Oct. 28-31 in Philadelphia.
