ATA Action has launched the Cross-State Care Coalition to advance federal legislation that could remove patient barriers to telehealth across state lines. The multi-stakeholder effort will bring together hospitals, health systems, provider organizations, innovators, and virtual care leaders to address licensure rules that can limit access to care.

The coalition is focused on specific circumstances where a narrow federal pathway could solve real access problems while preserving strong safety and accountability protections. It is not intended to override states' broader authority over standards of practice, scope of practice, discipline, patient safety, and professional accountability.

Founding members include Johns Hopkins Medicine, Access TeleCare, AdventHealth, Clara, MedStar Health, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, Sanford Health, Talkiatry, and Teladoc Health.

How should policymakers approach interstate telehealth licensure reform?

Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School now has a new technology and innovation hub designed to help student ideas move toward real-world healthcare use. The hub brings together academic and clinical expertise with cloud and artificial intelligence services.

Located at Rutgers’ Health and Life Science Exchange in New Brunswick, the Rutgers and RWJBarnabas Health Innovation Hub will support interdisciplinary student teams working on clinical decision-making, hospital operations and health equity software.

Up to five student teams can collaborate with Rutgers faculty, RWJBarnabas Health clinicians and technical guidance from AWS. The effort also gives students computing credits, operational support and a path to refine prototypes with new collaborators, research support and industry partnerships.

The initiative reflects growing interest in regional innovation hubs that connect students, clinicians and technology teams around healthcare challenges. How could collaborations like this shape the future of care?

CMS will expand its technology-enabled care coverage under the ACCESS Model beginning next spring, adding support for more chronic conditions. The expanded model will cover heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, substance-use disorders, ni****ne dependence, and additional support for bone, joint, and mobility conditions.

ACCESS, short for Advancing Chronic Care with Effective, Scalable Solutions, gives participating organizations options such as health coaching, remote monitoring, connected devices, and wearables between regular doctor visits. The goal is to connect digital health and virtual care with the broader healthcare system.

The model already includes support for conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and depression. CMS also said more than 160 organizations nationwide are participating, with more expected to join over time.

How do you see expanded virtual care changing chronic condition management?

A new survey highlights a pressing governance challenge as healthcare organizations expand the use of agentic AI and face growing unsanctioned AI use. The findings point to a widening gap between AI adoption and the controls needed to manage access, activity, and oversight.

Key findings from 250 U.S.-based healthcare leaders include:

28% say agentic AI is already in production.
44% say they are piloting AI agents.
72% say some AI tools or agents are deployed without formal IT approval.
57% rank security as a top-three concern.

The report warns that AI agents may access patient care and research systems, retrieve sensitive data, and carry out workflows that can be harder to monitor and audit. One participant described an incident where AI autonomously exported patient information in batches, with audit logs helping identify the risk.

What governance steps should healthcare organizations prioritize as AI agent use grows?

Healthcare technology teams are rolling out new AI tools that streamline clinical work, protect data, and support predictive care planning.

Oracle Health has made voice-driven charting with search and summarize features available inside Oracle Health Foundation EHR for nurses. Athenahealth says more than 170,000 physicians and other clinicians are using its AI-native capabilities, with early adopters increasing same-day chart completion by up to 30%.

Suki launched a dictation tool built inside Epic and Meditech EHRs, while OpenMatter Network introduced cryptography tools for secure multi-party AI data exchange. In predictive care and staffing, NVIDIA is helping Verily advance an AI-enabled precision health platform, WellStack acquired DeLorean AI, and Trusted Health is working with Mayo Clinic to extend workforce demand forecasting to more hospitals and health systems.

Which of these developments feels most significant for healthcare operations?

The Department of Veterans Affairs has declared its intent for Amwell to deploy virtual care technology within the VA enterprise. The planned platform is expected to support a range of clinical services and help advance digital health capabilities for veterans nationwide.

Amwell said the platform is intended to improve care coordination and patient access while supporting the VA’s electronic health record modernization efforts. The company also noted that the letter of intent is not a binding obligation, and any formal agreement would depend on a definitive contract and federal procurement requirements.

Amwell said the VA’s decision followed a comprehensive evaluation process. If finalized, the platform would broaden access to secure and reliable virtual care services across the VA system.

What do you think this could mean for veteran-centered care?

Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center has warned healthcare providers about a ShinyHunters vishing campaign targeting the sector worldwide.

The group is using voice phishing, impersonating IT help desk personnel, and registering medical-themed look-alike domains to reach employees. It is also calling workers on personal mobile devices and sending follow-up voicemails that push users toward malicious links.

Once credentials are captured, the attackers can move into connected SaaS platforms such as Microsoft 365, SharePoint, and Salesforce to exfiltrate sensitive data and internal communications. The bulletin advises organizations to block certain top-level domains where appropriate, strengthen identity verification, and move to phish-resistant multifactor authentication.

It also recommends employee training on look-alike domains and strict enforcement of no MFA resets on inbound calls.

How prepared is your organization to respond to vishing attempts like these?

Nurses are being urged to take a leading role in governing AI documentation tools that are changing clinical workflows. The central message is clear. AI-generated documentation should be treated as a draft, while the licensed nurse remains accountable for the patient record.

Experts cited in the feature warn that generative systems can introduce fabricated, misattributed, or clinically inaccurate details into charts. They say human oversight must include enough time, authority, and clinical context to review outputs properly.

Hospitals and health systems are being advised to define accountability before deployment, including who verifies output, catches errors, responds to alerts, and handles escalation when technology fails. They are also being told to bring nursing, clinical operations, IT, legal, privacy, safety, data science, ethics, and patient perspectives into governance early and continuously.

The guidance also calls for practical safeguards, including separating auto-generated from clinician-entered content, auditing charts early, and creating a fast feedback loop for frontline nurses.

How should health systems involve nurses in AI oversight from the start?

OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT for Healthcare with new connections to Epic EHRs and public healthcare data sources.

The Epic integration lets clinicians bring patient information into ChatGPT to prepare for appointments, review a patient’s history, and identify changes in health over time. ChatGPT can synthesize appointment notes, laboratory results, medications, and specialist documentation, while also pointing users back to supporting information in the patient chart.

Healthcare organizations can also integrate ChatGPT directly into supported EHR layouts, allowing clinicians to use the tool without leaving the patient chart. UCSF Health is piloting the integration.

OpenAI also launched a Healthcare Public Data plugin connected to nine official public healthcare data sources, including ClinicalTrials.gov, CMS Coverage, RxNorm, DailyMed, and PubMed. Providers can use it to search and compare records, find recruiting clinical trials, compare eligibility requirements, and check current drug labels and warnings.

How do you see these tools fitting into clinical workflows?
