It’s been a busy week for us at the Hub! Yesterday our team of clinicians met with Saskatchewan Health Authority leadership to discuss how we may support and collaborate on their Virtual Physician program, which aims to bridge the gaps in emergent care access for populations in rural and remote areas of the province. Through this initiative, physicians connect and coordinate with on-site healthcare providers remotely to manage all levels of patient acuity and enhance access to emergent care at the local level. The VHH’s advanced virtual care technologies can offer enhanced diagnostic assessment tools for these virtual physicians and provide them with real time accurate and accessible point of care information to support clinical care decisions. #VirtualHealthHub #VHH #HealthcareInnovation #VirtualHealthcare #SaskHealthcare #VirtualPhysicians #Telemedicine #TeleHealth #CanadianHealthcare #FutureofHealthcare

From hospitals to GP practices and home care organisations, more and more healthcare organisations are deploying telemonitoring. Why is this important? Staff shortages and an ageing population are increasing the pressure on care. Meeting future demand for care therefore requires a change in the way care is provided. With telemonitoring, effective care can be provided remotely in a low-threshold manner. For example, through cooperation with a medical service centre. Curious about what else telemonitoring can do for care organisations? Read more in the leaflet 👇 #digitalcare #ehealth #telemonitoring

Virtual care technologies play an important role across the Tasmanian Health Service. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a catalyst for this rapid change and innovation, demonstrating the value of virtual care to support new and modified clinical operations within Tasmania’s health system. 🎥 Listen to Dr Paul MacIntyre, Statewide Clinical Lead for Tasmanian Cardiac Services, share his encouragement for patients and clinicians to choose virtual care where clinically appropriate. Virtual care technologies enable more patients to receive care in their home or in their community, and save time for patients and our staff. Enabling patients to access appointments from their own home will reduce the costs and inconvenience associated with travel, reduce the number of missed or cancelled appointments, and support patient wellbeing by avoiding unnecessary travel prior to an operation or procedure. #healthcareers #virtualcare #tasmania
