Instead of doing yet another sign-on letter we switched things up this time & collected impact stories from patients, providers, and caregivers from the Medicare telehealth lapse this fall. I hope you read this stories as we continue the push toward a permanent solution.

🧵As Congress works to fund the government, Medicare telehealth flexibilities hang in the balance. Millions of Americans rely on telehealth for lifesaving care. Congress must act before these provisions lapse. Learn how shutdowns impact health providers, patients, and caregivers cta.tech/media/x20jlamt…:

GOP Doctors Caucus@GOPDoctors

Today, the GOP Doctors Caucus hosted health care industry leaders in artificial intelligence (AI) to discuss digital innovation, regulatory oversight, and challenges of integration. AI is an exciting tool that has the potential to improve American medicine and refine patient care. Administrative augmentation, streamlined prior authorization processes, and diagnostic assistance are transformational developments around the corner. To best cultivate the potential of AI, private industry must partner with physicians, supported by attentive federal policy that enables growth while safeguarding patient access and care. “The GOP Doctors Caucus is excited by the immense potential of artificial intelligence in the field of medicine," said Co-Chairs Murphy, M.D. & Joyce, M.D. “The United States desperately needs downward pressure on rising costs and rising disparities in access to care, especially for those in rural and underserved communities. The blooming potential of digital innovation must be harnessed with care. We appreciate those driving progress, and look forward to the work ahead as we collaborate to tackle this daunting task. We must make sure we never lose the human touch of medicine."

René did such a great job today representing @CTATech & the digital health industry. Read his full testimony here: cta.tech/media/acslp0qe…
Michael Petricone@mpetricone

Powerful testimony and message by @CTATech’s René Quashie to the Senate HELP Committee: Innovation dies in chaos. 20+ state privacy laws = confusion, cost, and crushed startups. We need one national privacy law to build trust and unlock the future. Congress must end the patchwork. Tech can fix health care - if we let it. Huge thanks to @CatherineLPugh and all who spent the holiday weekend preparing for the hearing!

NEW: The Stray Kids concert at Nats Park has turned into a mass casualty incident due to the heat. A mass casualty incident, or MCI, is a fire and EMS term used to identify an incident with a large number of victims. In this case, a "casualty" is anyone who is injured or ill in connection with the incident. @dcfireems has sent various EMS units there all day to first deal with people falling ill while waiting in long lines. Over the last hour, there have been numerous heat related calls in and around the stadium and Metro. They are now merged into one event with a significant number of fire and EMS units sent to the area. You will find lots of complaints on social media about the handling of today's event by stadium staff.
