connected Health 2015
Realtime notes from Day 2 of ConnectedHealth 2015 in San Diego #CHSD15.
THE REGULATORY ROCKING CHAIR
Kim Tyrrell-Knott, Partner, Epstein Becker and Green
FDA regulation of Clinical Decision Support happens today.
- Information
- Conversion
- Clinical Decision
Take in data. Evaluate and then make patient-specific actionable recommendations.
FDA focus on:
- High risk decision support
- Computer-aided detection/diagnostics
- Remote display/notification of real-time alarms
- Radiation treatment planning
- Robotic Surgical Planning and control
- Electrocardiography analytical software.
New Reality: Health and Device industries under attack
Malicious attackers are targeting healthcare related systems including Medical Devices. This includes targeting intellectual property and development data from manufacturers.
Medical Devices are impacted by:
- HIPAA Privacy Rule
- HIPAA Security Rule
- State Law
- FTC
- FDA Guidance (Cyber security issues that they care about)
Federal focus on Cyber Security. Cyber attacks as National Security, economic and safety issue
State: NY proposed Data Breach Law. Allow third party audits and certifications to offer rebuttable presumption of reasonable data security.
FTC – Privacy enforcement is top priority
A lot of health data that is not covered by HIPAA.
FDA: Cybersecurity – what are risks to patients.
Telemedicine Reimbursement:
Medicare Chronic Condition Management – $42 per patient/month
Still a preference for real time over store and forward.
Medicaid has a different framework and is more forgiving than Medicare. Also look at private Payers.
