Telehealth and digital health: regulatory and accreditation changes
This page collects dated changes on telehealth, remote patient monitoring and digital health from CMS, other federal agencies and accreditors. Each entry quotes or reports one sentence from the authority's page, links to it, and adds the effective date or comment deadline when the source states one. Entries from accreditors whose terms limit reuse show title, date and link only. IHS prepares telehealth and digital health organizations for URAC and ACHC review, builds remote monitoring programs, and supports NCQA work through Maureen Plumstead, so these updates are part of the record IHS reads each day. A quote here is the authority's wording, not IHS's reading of it. The entries do not interpret the changes, and the linked source is the original wording.
