Expert articles and analysis related to telehealth & digital care.
AI Summary — Last 7 Days
Digital care activity this week centered on scaling remote monitoring and virtual care infrastructure for population management, with Cadence raising $100M and adding Duke Health and Texas Health Resources while ChartSpan acquired Validic to expand remote care management capabilities—signals that health systems and enablement vendors are still betting on longitudinal, tech-enabled chronic care despite margin pressure. At the same time, the operating model is under scrutiny: NCQA launched a Digital Health Engagement Accreditation Program to create a common quality framework for purchasers and vendors, while reports that many health systems lose money on virtual care and a diabetes telehealth trial under fee-for-service showing limited impact reinforce a core VBC tension—digital programs must prove engagement, outcomes, and total-cost-of-care value, not just utilization growth. Cadence’s expansion with major health systems underscores the opportunity for ACOs and payers to use remote care as risk-bearing infrastructure, but the week’s signals point to a market moving toward tighter validation, accreditation, and ROI discipline.
