Sydney-based health informatics firm Ocean Health Systems and telemedicine specialist Livecare have joined forces to offer a combined package aimed at healthcare homes and integrated care initiatives that embeds telehealth capabilities within a shared care plan to easily connect patients to the care team.

The new approach will allow any member of the care team to communicate directly with patients about their care plan remotely, without requiring face-to-face meetings, and care team members will also be able to communicate securely with each other and hold case conferences with up to 14 carers and the patient themselves.
