We can help your medical practice set up for Telehealth Consultations.
Providing HealthCare remotely with Telehealth helps provide protection for patients and health care providers, to help reduce the risk of community transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19). The Australian Medical Association also promotes the value and cost effectiveness of Telehealth as a functional component of quality General Practice.
Telehealth Set Up
The code of conduct for a health profession is a key component of each National Board’s regulatory framework, desiged to protect the public and support the Health Practitioner. Telehealth does not replace face-to-face appointments, but supports them, so it is most suited for follow-up or review appointments. Telehealth set up meets the Australian Telehealth Standards, including: Patient Engagement, Video Conferencing, Digital Forms and Taking Payments Online.
Of course, there is a downside. There is a risk of fragmentation of care, sitting alongside a lack of comprehensive care. However, the downside can easily be averted, with good systems and processes using Telehealth.
