North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network (NWMPHN) and Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (EMPHN) have partnered with Katrina Otto to provide an interactive session focusing on telehealth usage amidst COVID-19.
Amidst the uncertainty of COVID-19, a smooth transition to telehealth offers an unparalleled opportunity to continuous deliver value to patients, whilst overcoming and addressing the challenges of our current healthcare system. With a growing need to connect and integrate our healthcare system across digital platforms, complications such as COVID-19 has forced many in the healthcare sector to review their modus operandi. In response to this review, many specialists and specialist practices have been forced into bringing on solutions that they do not yet understand and/or do not know how to operate within the workflows of their context.
Looking beyond COVID-19, we must recognise that the healthcare landscape will not be the same again.
Take this opportunity to learn more about how to thrive in such an environment, embracing the tools of telehealth and maximising latent potential.
