Project overview and objectives
CDM-Net is a broadband-based collaborative care system that will work to transform the way in which chronic disease is managed.
This project will allow GPs, specialists and other health care professionals to collaborate on a patient’s healthcare plan through an easy online interface. Patients will also have an interactive role in their healthcare plans.
Accessing healthcare plans online on a computer or on an internet-enabled mobile phone will grant patients ease of access to vital information regarding their treatments and their healthcare teams anywhere and at any time.
This online environment will help patients in rural, regional and remote areas of Australia that currently find it hard to travel long distances to see healthcare professionals for simple consultations.
CDM-Net Australia will be available to regional, rural and remote areas of Tasmania, Western Australia, Queensland and Victoria.
