Multiple integrations with national and local health information systems are enabling a new model of care for rural patients, says Ka Ora Telecare leadership team member Jess White.
Ka Ora, a collective of REACH Aotearoa, Practice Plus, and Emergency Consult, was awarded the contract to deliver the Rural Clinical Telehealth Service over the next three years.
The service, which rolled out in November 2023 and includes access to virtual GP or nurse practitioner appointments, was contacted by more than 3000 patients in its first 100 days.
