services enter the New Health Economy. PwCs annual 2016 Top health industry issues report highlights the
forces that are expected to have the most impact on the industry in the coming year, with a glance back at key
trends from the past decade. Here are the top 4 that Cisco solutions directly address read about the others in

1.

Care in the palm of your hand (Virtual Care) -- Thanks to technology and shifts in financial incentives,

care will begin to move into the palms of consumers hands, providing care anywhere, anytime.
2.

Cybersecurity concerns come to medical technology -- As security breaches become more common and
costly, attention shifts to buttressing the security of medical devices.

3.

Behavioral healthcare: no longer on the back-burner -- Employers and healthcare organizations eye
behavioral healthcare as key to keeping costs down, productivity up and consumers healthy (Virtual
Care opportunity).

4.

Care moves to the community -- As payment shifts to value-based models, health systems will pursue
lower-cost settings more aggressively than before while employing creative approaches to distributing
care.

Experian's third annual data breach forecast across industries summarizes the following top risks. Note that the
second largest risk is in Healthcare.
Experian anticipates the top data breach issues and trends of 2016 to include the following:
The EMV Chip and PIN liability shift will not stop payment breaches.
Big healthcare hacks will make the headlines but small breaches will cause the most damage.
Cyber conflicts between countries will leave consumers and businesses as collateral damage.

2016: The Year Ahead
Center for Strategic Planning Speakers: Bill Woodson and Steve Jenkins The annual kickoff event where Sg2
experts highlight key trends to watch for the coming year.
Take note at how the regulatory environment is gradually evolving to support reimbursement for virtual
healthcare. This has been one of the long-time barriers to adoption of telehealth / virtual care by our customers.
The more the government and private payers loosen the reigns on paying for virtual visits & virtual care, the
faster our customers will deploy this technology.
More Than 200 Virtual Health Bills Introduced in 2015
All but 8 states introduced at least one virtual health bill to their state legislatures in 2015, bringing the total number of new
bills to more than 200. Medicaid reimbursement soared, with all states except Rhode Island offering some type of Medicaid
reimbursement for virtual care. While some states have traditionally created geographic limits similar to Medicare, 2015 saw
the removal of many of these reimbursement restrictions:
Twenty-four states and Washington, DC, do not specify a patient location as a condition of payment.
Half of all states allow a patients home to serve as the originating site.
Sixteen states now recognize schools and school-based health centers as eligible originating sites.
Review the latest Telehealth Policy Trends and Considerations report (PDF) from the National Conference of State Legislatures
for more details about reimbursement, licensing and adoption trends.
