HITEQ Resources & Events

Coming out of the pandemic, much of the conversation about virtual care has tended to focus on synchronous telehealth audio and video visits. This HITEQ Highlights dived deeper into another potentially supportive and valuable strategy in the suite of virtually enabled care. Attendees joined us for a presentation by Clinical Pharmacist and Associate Clinical Professor, Michelle Jacobs, as she described the experience of integrating patient self-monitoring of blood pressure within an office based hypertension management approach. This session included topics such as the evidence base for a self-monitoring blood pressure program, best practices in hypertension management through a self-monitoring program, and technology barriers and challenges to remote blood pressure monitoring.

In this session, participants learned about successful digital health strategies for primary care settings. Attendees left the session hearing from case studies on best practices and lessons learned.

In this session participants learned about the data privacy laws as they relate to digital health. Attendees had a better understanding about HIPAA, data privacy laws, telehealth regulations and more.

In this session, participants learned why digital health strategy is essential for health centers to remain competitive, meet consumer and patient demands and make care more accessible for all patients. Attendees learned how digital health strategy improves patient care and engagement and improves health outcomes for all.

In this session participants learned what standards-based exchange is, why it is important, what it makes possible, and what they need to do. Dr. David Kendrick led the session to provide insight into how MyHealth Access Network provides advanced health information exchange, community-wide care coordination tools, and a robust decision support platform designed to support providers and patients in improving health outcomes.
