Project overview and objectives
The South Australian Digital Telehealth Network project will roll out a telehealth network across regional, rural and remote South Australia to deliver vital health services to those usually not able to access it in times of need.
By implementing broadband-enabled services such as medical consultations via videoconferencing, a 24/7 emergency triage system, specialist outreach services and Aboriginal mental health services, The South Australian Digital Telehealth Networkwill bring world-class medical facilities and services to areas that normally do not have access to such vital health services.
Through these services, the project will reduce patient travel time, improve patient care through regular check-ups, enable the provision of online health services, increase telehealth consultations and connect patients with separated families.
