Telehealth in residential aged care facilities: Improving access to specialist care

长期住宿护理的人有复杂和慢性的护理问题。如果工作人员得到专家的支持，就居民的护理提供建议，他们可能能够提供更有针对性的护理。该项目考虑了通过视频会议直接向住宿护理设施对所有新居民进行老年病专家评估的价值。除此之外，还将在“按需”的基础上，通过远程保健服务模式协调，获得范围广泛的其他专家的帮助。

People in long term residential care have complex and chronic care issues. The staff may be able to provide more focused care if they have the support of specialists for advice on the care of residents. This project considers the value of a geriatric specialist assessment for all new residents via video conferencing, directly to the residential care facility. This will be supplemented by access to a wide range of other specialists coordinated through a telehealth service model on an 'as needs' basis.
