Supporting patients to access digital health tools
RACGP | ADHA
1:00pm - 1:30pm
Digital health tools have the potential to improve general practice service delivery, business processes and overall health outcomes. The pandemic has seen a rapid increase in the use of technology and practices and patients have become more familiar with using digital health tools to complement their care.
In this session, delivered in partnership with the Australian Digital Health Agency, we will discuss the digital health tools available to patients, barriers to access technology, breaking down the barriers, digital inclusion and how you can support your patients at a practice level. Participants will also have an opportunity to ask questions.
This session is part of the Digital health live Q&A series running across May.
This event attracts 1 CPD point.
