Telehealth is the secure transmission of images, voice and data between two or more units via Telecommunication channels, to provide clinical advice, consultation, monitoring, education and training and administrative services.
Telehealth Guidelines are available for sites that are part of a telehealth consultation (at both ends), to provide a common communications framework specifically targeting ‘clinician to patient’, and ‘clinician to clinician’ usage groups across the whole of the patient journey (ED, acute care, triaging, case conferences and follow up).
