Alexis Silver

Alexis Silver has supported the use of technology in the healthcare industry since 2001, first as a trade association professional and, more recently, as a technical writer and consultant specializing in telehealth and medical technology. 

In her previous role with statewide trade associations representing home care and hospice providers, she provided regulatory and program guidance to certified and licensed home care agencies, as well as hospice organizations. As a telehealth advocate, Alexis co-authored legislation that led to Medicaid reimbursement for teleheath services in New York State. She subsequently worked with the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) to design and implement New York's Home Telehealth Demonstration Project. She also successfully advocated for medication dispensers to be reimbursed as assistive technology for patients enrolled in New York's Long-Term Home Health Care Program (LTHHCP), now known as Managed Long-Term Care (MLTC). 

As an independent consultant, Alexis has partnered with numerous home healthcare providers to develop and administer telehealth pilot programs. She has also served as a first-line telehealth triage specialist, monitoring patients remotely while evaluating systems for operational improvements. Additionally, she has worked as a clinical project manager, overseeing collaborative efforts with technology vendors to develop remote patient monitoring products and design programs that support aging in place.

An accomplished write and presenter, Alexis has spoken for organizations including the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), The Joint Commission, FEMA, and the Institute of Medicine (IOM). She currently serves as a Chair of the Home Telehealth and Remote Monitoring Special Interest Group for the American Telemedicine Association. In this role, she was also a founding member of the ClearHealth Quality Institute's (now part of URAC) workgroup that developed credentialing guidelines for Remote Patient Monitoring.
