Abstract The access to healthcare services has been the source of massive concern in healthcare over the world, the Australian setting not being an exception. The problem of healthcare access is especially challenging to resolve for rural areas and the vulnerable groups living in the specified environment. In their 2020 study, Maurice et al. (2020) consider the problem of providing access to healthcare services to residents of rural areas in Australia by implementing e-health and, particularly, telehealth opportunities. The study conducted by Maurice et al. (2020) has several advantages, including the clear focus on the problem at hand, a well-defined research question, and an elaborate methodology for answering it. In addition, the authors perform a substantial review of the latest literature on the topic, thus embracing every opportunity for improving e-health services in the rural Australian setting. According to the research results, the application of telehealth as the tool for increasing the accessibility of nursing and healthcare services is sufficiently effective. The main weakness of the study comes from the methodology, namely, the application of the Likert-type scale for patients to utilize in order to measure their experiences. Due to the high probability of subjective assessments, the outcomes of the survey could be seen as requiring adjustments and removal of obvious bias. Nevertheless, the research has managed to convey critical information with enough precision and prove the point that the authors strived to make. The results of the research can be considered an important piece of information for improving the current state of Australian e-health. Namely, the management of the needs of rural area residents can be improved with the help of this study. As a result, multiple public health issues will be managed more effectively. Introduction The recent developments in the management of public health issues have made it possible to embrace a wider range of audiences and extend support to vulnerable groups. However, certain concerns in the provision of health-related services have remained unchanged, which suggests that further measures are to be introduced. The problem of health accessibility is one of such concerns, which becomes even more prominent in rural areas. Due to the uniquely unfortunate combination of the rural infrastructure and poor economic conditions, residents of the rural setting often lack access to high-quality healthcare (Johnson & Mahan, 2020). Moreover, even basic health services may remain unavailable to the specified population (Johnson et al., 2018). In their article, Maurice et al. (2020) provide solutions to the lack of access to bariatric surgery for patients in rural areas of Australia. Although the authors’ conclusions that telehealth improves the accessibility of post-surgery services for patients, the study could have benefitted significantly from a wider range of settings being explored in it. Definition The efficacy of telehealth as a tool for improving the accessibility of care, especially for patients that have difficulties accessing respective services physically, has been the subject of multiple discussions in the contemporary healthcare context.
