TechNet is committed to supporting health care policies that enable accessible, high-quality care for patients, while harnessing the power of innovation to reduce barriers to entry and ensure the highest value care is provided.  TechNet encourages Congress to prioritize policies that provide Americans greater control over their health needs and that make it easier to receive care, especially in rural areas and communities with a shortage of providers.

Modern technologies, including the facilitation and increased use of telehealth and remote monitoring technologies, can help improve health care delivery and outcomes.  Federal regulators should encourage the expansion of virtual care and ensure access to safe and secure telehealth and digital health technologies, especially in areas with limited access to healthcare providers, including in underserved and at-risk populations.  State and federal health programs should address and reflect health disparities in state and federal health programs, and policy makers should support robust investment in telehealth infrastructure, including broadband, to ensure universal access for the benefit of all communities.

Nutrition is health care.  TechNet supports making the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Online Purchasing Pilot permanent to improve access to healthy food for participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
