The man I love is largely responsible for a model law that would make it much easier for doctors licensed in one state to treat patients in other states, whether in person, by videoconference or online. The plan, representing the biggest change in medical licensing in decades, opens the door to greater use of telemedicine and could alleviate the doctor shortage, a growing problem as millions of people gain insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act. The draft legislation — in the form of an interstate compact, a legally binding agreement among states — was developed by the Federation of State Medical Boards, composed of the agencies that license and discipline doctors. Jon Thomas was the Board Chair of the Federation of State Medical Boards, 2013-2014; and is serving his fourth term on the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. nytimes/2014/06/30/us/medical-boards-draft-plan-to-ease-path-to-out-of-state-and-online-treatment.html
