Telehealth - A Call to arms
Why is there so much growth in the use of telehealth throughout the world? What is happening here in New Zealand? How can sustainable telehealth services deliver better, sooner, more convenient health care for New Zealanders?
This symposium will cover progress and opportunities in telemonitoring and home monitoring services, especially for those with long term conditions, and how New Zealanders are benefiting from videoconferencing services in the North and South Islands. We’ll cover the latest developments in Australia and opportunities for Australasian collaboration. We’ll hear from the Forum’s sponsor, the National Health IT Board, on the fit with shared care strategies and maximising the benefits of the government’s broadband programme to support rural populations and clinical networks.
