KALISPELL, Mont. - June 16, 2026 - PRLog -- GoTo Telemed, a nationwide integrated telehealth ecosystem serving over 10 million patients, today spotlighted the rapid evolution of digital healthcare.

Key Trends Reshaping Digital Health

• Sustained Utilization: Virtual care now accounts for 17% of monthly appointments, with 71% of practices using telemedicine.
• AI and Predictive Analytics: AI agents are emerging as clinical "copilots," and AI-powered remote monitoring can now detect early signs of clinical deterioration. CMS Administrator Amy Gleason reinforced that data modernization is strategic, not just technical.
• CMS Policy Expansion: CMS streamlined adding services to the Medicare Telehealth Services List for 2026, including group psychotherapy and obesity counseling. GoTo Telemed's clearinghouse achieves over 98% first-pass claim acceptance.
• Value-Based Care: Digital health tools—mobile apps, home BP monitoring, wearables—have emerged as promising tools to enhance chronic disease management. The CMS ACCESS Model aligns payments with outcomes.
• FDA and DEA Updates: The FDA issued updated guidance easing requirements for low-risk digital health tools while preserving oversight for higher-risk devices. The DEA extended COVID-era controlled substance prescribing flexibilities through December 31, 2026.
• National Interoperability: TEFCA has reached nearly 500 million health records exchanged.
