Digital health

Using digital information and modern communication technologies effectively is vital to the future of our health system.

A digitally enabled practice, clinic or pharmacy can help GPs, allied health professionals, pharmacists and other primary health care providers deliver better care to more people.

Better use of data and technology is helping people live healthier lives, with greater control and better access to important health information. Whether it’s secure connection to other providers, electronic prescribing or telehealth, progress is being made to connect Australia to better health care.

Our Primary Health Care Improvement team is keen to help practices implement and manage digital health tools and processes. Call us on (03) 9347 1188, email primarycare@nwmphn.org.au or visit the links below for more information.
