Telehealth for Patients
Telehealth appointments are now offered in certain BRHS clinics and programs.
Speak with your GP if you are interested in having a consultation via Telehealth.
Our specialists will triage your referral and determine if Telehealth is suitable for your care.
What is Telehealth?
Telehealth services link patients to consultants via video call.
Patients can connect to a telehealth appointment via a home computer, a tablet (such as an iPad) or a smart phone.
This removes the barriers of travel, financial and time constraints for specialist services.
Bairnsdale Regional Health Service embraces technology where it can to add value to care, safe service delivery, decision-making, effectiveness and efficiency.
One of the ways we achieve this is through telehealth consultations.
