Queensland GP and Australian Digital Health Agency (ADHA) board member Eleanor Chew will discuss the pilots being planned for the Health Care Homes initiative, the funding changes being explored and the new opportunities the initiative presents for telehealth and digital access to the home at the Australian Telehealth Conference being held in Melbourne next month.
Dr Chew was a member of the Primary Health Care Advisory Group (PHCAG) that supported the introduction of Health Care Homes to reduce fragmentation of care for chronic disease patients and introduce new funding models for primary care.
