The world of telemedicine, is changing rapidly and radically. ATA is also undergoing significant change. I want to share a couple of these changes with you and explain why they are occurring.
Building on the foundation of programs and services established over 17 years, ATA is realigning our activities, our structure and even our look to ensure that the organization continues to be current, healthy and a change agent for the use of telecommunications technology in healthcare. Two weeks ago, ATA’s new board of directors, under the leadership of ATA President, Dr. Karen Rheuban, affirmed the critical need for ATA to set forth a bold vision for the delivery of healthcare in the future and move aggressively to make such a vision come true, both in the United States and around the world.
ATA’s Leadership: Over the past two years, the composition of the Association’s board of directors has changed dramatically... They include:
* S. Ward Casscells, MD, former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs
* Molly J. Coye, MD, MPH, President and Chief Executive Officer, CalRHIO
* Bernard Harris, MD, Founder of the Harris Foundation and CEO of Vesalius Venture Capital
* Don Jones, Vice President, Business Development Health and Life Sciences, QUALCOMM
* William Paschall, Director of Healthcare Applications, AT&T, Inc.
* Lord Roger Swinfen, Member of the UK House of Lords and Founder of the Swinfen Charitable Trust
* Reed V. Tuckson, MD, Executive Vice President, Chief of Medical Affairs, UnitedHealth Group
* Yulun Wang, PhD, Chairman & CEO, InTouch Health...
Communications: Web 2.0 and social networking are important tools for networking, training and innovation in healthcare delivery. ATA is an early adopter of such new technology in order to foster growth and change...
Public Policy: Public policy has always been a key priority for ATA and this year it is more important than ever. But, like never before, it is apparent that we can’t do this alone. Development of an online petition, http://www.telehealth4us.org/, has provided a vehicle to gather outside support for telemedicine and has been wildly successful with hundreds of associations, healthcare providers and individuals signing on....
Let me hear from you.
