NZ Telehealth Resource Centre
A new online resource which will help encourage the uptake of telehealth by health professionals across the country. The New Zealand Telehealth Resource Centre website brings together information about the various regulations and guidelines that apply to telehealth. It includes case studies of where telehealth is already providing benefits. Site visits, workshops and demonstrations are also offered by the resource centre team.
“Telehealth is changing the way we deliver healthcare and is a good example of how the sector is harnessing IT to provide better services to patients closer to home,” says Dr Coleman. “It means people living in rural or remote areas can access the same specialist care as those living in urban areas without having to travel great distances. Equally, telehealth is useful in busy urban environments or where a patient is not easily able to travel." (Source: Beehive.govt.nz – New online telehealth resource to encourage uptake).
