<p>Dec 6, 2013 -- <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/12/05/telehealth-network… Today article</a> reports that according to a newly released study, using a remote expert to oversee intensive-care units decreases mortality and decreases the amount of time people spend in hospitals, thus saving money. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services just last week changed its 2014 fee schedule so more people in rural areas would qualify for telehealth services, and so that those services could include home-based telehealth services.</p>
