When digital health services are connected, authorised residential aged care staff and healthcare providers have immediate access to a resident’s key health information.
Services such as My Health Record, electronic prescriptions, Active Script List and telehealth enable aged care homes to offer their residents better continuity of care and allows GPs to expand their treatment base, ensuring better health outcomes.
More than 90 per cent of eligible residential aged care homes in South Western Sydney have accepted an offer of telehealth equipment from SWSPHN. Onsite workshops and webinars were conducted and reinforced by one-on-one training of staff and clinicians.
