2nd Annual National Telemedicine Summit 2010

An increase in chronic disease and an ageing population are putting major strains on the nation's healthcare system. In addition, Australia's vast physical size means that citizens living in remote rural areas often struggle to receive the same quality of care they would obtain in large urban area.

The advancement of telemedicine will ease these problems by promising the provision of quality healthcare at a distance. The 2nd Annual National Telemedicine Summit will feature a variety of in-depth case studies that will provide you with information on key initiatives undertaken by government health departments, clinicians and healthcare providers.

Learn first-hand from your healthcare peers how they have overcome challenges, worked with new technologies, met consumer expectations, dealt with financial constraints, measured results, and provided positive patient outcomes. Each case study will offer lessons that you can take away and use when implementing new telemedicine initiatives.
