Texas Insight’s Recent Reports

Texas e-Health. At their last meeting, in addition to receiving the committee report that will be advanced to the Executive Commissioner for consideration, the e-Health Advisory Committee (eHAC) heard information on:

  • Possible incentive payments for providers;
  • The telemedicine pilot and a general update on telemedicine, telehealth and telemonitoring; and
  • The Patient Unified Lookup System for Emergencies (PULSE). Pulse was developed by the State of California with the support of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. It enables authorized emergency responders to query for and view patient records with a focus on disaster response situations.
