Earlier this year the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) published “Tenets for Increasing Access to Nutrition Care Delivered Via Telehealth: Recommendations from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Telehealth Task Force.” The tenets are the result of work conducted in 2020-2021 by a Task Force comprised of various representatives involved in practice, research, payment and licensure. The tenets developed by the Task Force are meant to guide the Academy on their future telehealth policy positions. Although this was published in February of this year, the Academy formally adopted the tenets back in April 2021.

On May 16, 2025, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), issued a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit public input on shaping the future of digital health technology for Medicare beneficiaries. The RFI, titled Health Technology Ecosystem [CMS-0042-NC], seeks comments on how to improve access to and usability of digital health tools, reduce barriers to data interoperability, and align health IT infrastructure with the shift toward value-based care.

An April 2025 report by Peterson Center on Healthcare, Evolving Remote Monitoring: An Evidence-Based Approach to Coverage and Payment, assesses remote patient monitoring (RPM) utilization across Medicare and Medicaid populations to provide policy insights around how remote monitoring technologies can improve clinical outcomes as well as reduce spending. The report looks at current coverage and reimbursement policies applicable to remote monitoring, the clinical benefits remote monitoring has been shown to provide, and recommendations to better align policies with clinical evidence.
