<div>The February 23rd CTeL Brown Bag topic is physician credentialing in hospitals. Credentialing and privileging of physicians using telemedicine to deliver healthcare services has long been a key issue for telehealth providers. When a physician uses telemedicine to direct the care of a patient in a hospital, what steps should the hospital take with regard to credentialing and privileging that physician?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>CTeL has been advised by telehealth practitioners that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) has emphasized that their Conditions of Participation must be followed to credential physicians at distant telehealth sites. <br>
<br>CMS does not sanction the Joint Commission's (JC) approach of allowing one JC accredited facility to recognize the credentialing process of another JC accredited facility. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Brown Bag participants will hear from speakers knowledgeable about the telehealth credentialing requirements of the CMS. Speakers will also address the JC's policies regarding credentialing, and the practical impact of CMS credentialing requirements on the delivery of telemedicine procedures. Speakers will be announced soon.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Brown Bag seminar will be held on February 23, 2009 from 12:00 noon-1:30 EST. Mark your calendar and register now!</div>

<div><font color="#5a3818">For chronic respiratory disease patients in the rural Champlain region of Ontario, Canada, a new telehealth program provides the opportunity to receive necessary care without traveling to hospitals in Ottawa. The new program, headquartered at the 22-bed Carleton Place District and Memorial Hospital (CPDMH) and operated by the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) in conjunction with St. Francis Hospital, connects patients with respirologist Dr. Stephen Bencze of Ottawa Hospital's Clinical Telehealth Program. Through videoconferencing, patients are brought together with physicians for consultation, evaluation, and education. </font>
<div><font color="#5a3818"> </font></div><font color="#5a3818">The new program for respiratory disease patients is a significant part of the telehealth program at CPDMH, which serves several rural communities of about 23,000 people total, that was established in 2002 with the OTN. Since then, the hospital has seen an increase in telehealth-related visits, with about 400 annual visits. The program is part of a larger effort to enhance access to treatment for rural patients and to help chronic disease patients in better managing their conditions.</font>
