In this course we will consider digital health separately
as telehealth and eHealth, where telehealth relates to video consultations and
eHealth relates to everything else. We will review the various platforms
available - current and emerging - and consider the various aspects of quality
care versus patient safety that each platform offers. Particular attention will
be paid to the use of these modalities in the rural and remote context.
The materials in this course were developed in partnership
with Queensland Country Practice (QCP), Darling Downs Hospital and Health
Service.
QCP has agreed to its wider release to contribute to the
broad training curriculum delivered through ACRRM and the potential benefit to
rural doctors in training in other areas.
