The Alliance for Connected Care submitted comments to the House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee for its hearing, “Health at Your Fingertips: Harnessing the Power of Digital Health Data” on June 25, 2025.
Advancements in digital health have leveraged greater flexibility in care, optimized the remote workforce to meet America’s health needs, and enhanced seamless data flow across patients, practitioners, and settings. Harnessing the power of digital health data through telehealth and RPM allows providers to better manage patients with chronic conditions, high-risk post-acute circumstances, and low access to care otherwise.
We need to modernize practice and payment requirements to unlock the full potential of digital health data, optimize virtual care, and ensure that patients and providers do not have to think about practice or payment barriers when considering the right modality for medical treatment. Clinicians should have the ability to provide the care delivery method best for their patients—from RPM to telehealth visits—knowing that they can generate, use, and share secure digital health data to create a higher quality, more efficient health care system.
