Conference Overview and Significance
The American Telemedicine Association’s Nexus 2025 conference, scheduled for May 3-6 in New Orleans, promises to be a landmark event focusing on ‘Redefining Care Delivery’ [1]. As the ATA’s 29th annual conference, it brings together front-line clinicians and industry leaders to explore actionable strategies leveraging digital technologies [2]. The timing is particularly crucial as key telehealth flexibilities are set to expire on September 30, 2025, potentially affecting Medicare beneficiaries’ access to remote healthcare services [3].
Critical Policy Discussions and Legal Framework
The conference agenda addresses pressing regulatory challenges, including data privacy considerations and DEA telemedicine prescribing regulations [4]. A significant focus will be placed on the implications of the upcoming ‘telehealth cliff,’ as healthcare providers prepare for potential changes in service delivery models [3]. The conference will feature detailed sessions on state-specific telehealth practice laws and the evolving landscape of digital therapeutics, providing essential guidance for healthcare organizations navigating complex regulatory frameworks [4].
Innovation and Technology Integration
A cornerstone of Nexus 2025 is its emphasis on artificial intelligence integration in clinical workflows. The conference features dedicated sessions on AI governance and implementation, scheduled for May 3, 2025 [4]. The growing importance of interstate telemedicine is highlighted by recent data showing that 28% of telemedicine visits during the late COVID-19 pandemic crossed state lines [5]. The conference will also explore innovative care models including Tele-NICU, Oncology Virtual Care, and Hospital Without Walls concepts [5].
