Published: 1/8/2021 - Telehealth use soars during the pandemic, here to stay BY MARK SANCHEZ Sunday, January 03, 2021 05:20pm Spectrum Health entered 2020 with a goal of having half of eligible primary care patient visits with its doctors occur virtually by the end of 2022.

In an unprecedented act, HHS has proposed significant changes to the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The basis for many of these changes are to increase sharing for covered entities so they will better be able to coordinate care amongst themselves and with...
