U.S. Sen. John Thune

U.S. Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., has received the Health IT Pioneer award from Health IT Now for sponsoring the Streamline Small Cell Deployment Act. Health IT Now is a coalition of patient groups, provider organizations, employers and payers supporting the use of data and health information technology to improve health care. Thune’s legislation would advance the deployment of telecommunication small cells, which are central to the building of a 5G broadband network. The organization has endorsed the measure, saying that implementation of 5G will mean improvements in real-time disease diagnosis, population analytics, patient outcomes and remote-access capabilities – all leading to more efficient, higher quality, technology-enabled care.
