Dr. Kaushal also built and led the first dedicated health care team at the Federal Communications Commission, where his team initiated collaboration with the Food and Drug Administration for the regulatory streamlining of converged telecommunications, data analytics and medical devices leading to the release of the mobile medical applications guidance by the FDA. In addition, his team reformed the Rural Healthcare Fund Program to create the Healthcare Connect Fund, which aligned the funding mechanism with wider health care payment policy and technology reform. Dr. Kaushal is an adjunct professor at Stanford University with a joint position within the newly created biomedical data science department and the medical school’s clinical excellence research center. Dr. Kaushal continues to be active within public policy and is a scholar in residence at the Duke Margolis Center for Health Policy.
