The Network is guided by a Management Committee to provide leadership for all Queensland Health telemedicine projects. Access to health services is improved, especially in rural and remote areas. Telemedicine is part of mainstream service delivery with appropriate funding models. Standards pertinent to health service delivery are applied to telemedicine. Health staff increase their knowledge and skills.
Professional isolation is reduced.
Participation of stakeholders in decision-making is increased through use of telemedicine for advisory groups, working parties, budget meetings etc. Research and evaluation findings on telemedicine are widely disseminated. Decision-making in telemedicine is based on research evidence. 31 December 2000 Link to the Queensland Health Home Page Find information about Queensland Health, our services, fact sheets, brochures, public health and other health topic information.
