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

长期住院护理的人有复杂和长期的护理问题。如果工作人员得到专家的支持，就可以提供更有针对性的护理，以寻求对住院医生的护理建议。该项目考虑了通过视频会议对所有新居民进行老年专家评估的价值，直接到达住宿护理设施。此外，还将根据“需要”，通过远程保健服务模式协调接触广泛的其他专家。

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.
